i too dont consider paying for your own type rating "P2F" . i would rather have the airline pay for it
but i understand the position of the airline who require the applicant to pay. im sure they have been burned by people who have taken the course and the next month quit for a higher paying job etc... i am 100 % against P2F ,where you have no time on type and an airline requires 500 hours and you go to some airline in timbuktu and pay them 90,000 dollars for the privalege of flying 500 hours for no salary. what airline would pay a salary to FOs if they can get people who are willing to pay ?! about climbto350 . they charge 60 bucks a year, they may have 5000 members, thats 300k for a simple web site which costs little to maintain. you are better off starting your own pilot employment web site than being a pilot ! in fact the owner of climbto350 actually called a place i used to work for (they had a ce500) and inquired how much it would cost to fly his dogs down to his house in costa rica ! try indeed.com
