As many ppruners have already said, one side of the problem is the business build up by those factory schools, to name a few CTC and OAA. Their business model is simple. They make agreements with companies where they offer simulator time and workforce at half of the price and airlines are forced to hire only their students. Simple as that. In this way airlines can get cheaper simulator and training, while these flight schools can assure them-self a constant flow of people willing to pay for their really expensive products just because they can actually offer employment at the end. Everybody earn money and win except us. They should stop these flight schools and get back to the old days where pilots use to earn their way to the right hand seat working hard and gaining experience doing !!!!ty flying jobs, then you will see who really wants to do this job because he/she loves it or just because mom and dad have the money to buy a glamours career to his/her son/daughter. Do you pretend that those people will fight for their T&C? No way! People who have sweat and worked hard to get there will!
