The men aren't separated from the boys in the sim, not when they're paying for the seat, that's precisely the problem. It's unsafe. It will all come to a head when there's a big smoking hole in the ground and a public outcry that we let this industry deteriorate to this level.
I've never paid for an interview, cv, sim, type rating etc. Anyone who has or does is a fool and a danger to himself, his passengers, the industry, and my career!
Back in your box..
As an aside, I'm earning a whisker over 20,000 USD per month as an F/O on a wide body, and I put that down in part to the fact that I DID NOT SELL OUT like all the newbies coming into the industry now.
Do you really think that the P2F lot can ever dream of achieving these sort of earnings? Not when they're sending a clear message to the airline industry.... bloody fools.
