P2F is one way to go and such guys shouldn't be judged for doing it. It is a difficult industry to brake into let's face it. At the end of the day, the men are separated from the boys at the sim ride at the interview. There P2F doesn't count as all majors don't allow P2F anyway. So guys should forget about it and relax a little. We all had to pay for type ratings at some point, just some guys take it a little further - maybe cause they struggle to fly well......just kidding.
