i am not throwing stones at lion air, and i am not trying to be nasty. its the P2F gig i have a problem with. please put this entire idea in financial perspective. spend $70K on "line training" for a few years, on top of whatever you already spent to learn to fly, and then support yourself for the duration of this "training" and you are looking at well over $100K spent, maybe getting close to $150K? and now how about the typical self funded TR most LCC seem to favor, better find another $30K to spend. you are heading towards financial ruin.

i have spoken with guys here at my airline who did that and even with the money we make, they will be paying off massive debts for quite a while. flying a 777 and living like a backpacker!! better hope you dont lose your license/medical in the meantime.....
