You are never really going to get an accurate representation on the internet.

You will hear of people getting jobs but nearly all are buying them through type ratings at EZY, FR etc so they don't really count.

I am within a couple of months of being debt free having finished my modular course last year. If the bank handed me 30k tomorrow and told me to buy a type rating I would refuse. I would never put myself into that amount of debt and incur the stresses that go along with it, to irresponsibly fly passengers around while tired.

My campaign to out these guys continues btw. Caught two more in the last week. Usual story, person finds out I'm looking for work as a pilot and suggests I try FR as they have a friend there. I point out that their friend paid 30k to FR.........FR pilot loses friend.
