It is a gamble but you don't get anywhere without taking a risk
If these kind of airlines want the type of inexperienced pilot willing to gamble everything on one shot at getting in ,then they are welcome to them,I hope they still think its a good idea when they gamble their aircraft and passengers lives trying to get in on a bad approach..Let the public decide they should at least know who's up front.
Paying for type ratings,yes I agree with whether bonded or after successful interview with job guarantee,this is the reality now as too many in the past abused the system.
