@samju? Accept reality ? I will never endorse pay to fly , these agents are going to be taught a lesson, it's just another accident waiting to happen.
The OP was more targeted to how other airlines look at your pay to fly choices, I know that EK looks down upon it but I wanted to hear feedback from those of you who have gone through it.
I was also interested in your line training / employment experience, You've paid $70,000 plus I would want to get my money's worth and get good TRIs during my sectors that will actually teach me things.
