Pay for your own type rating...that is a given these days.
It's a given these days because of the sc@bs who bought jobs at or around startup of Jetstar by paying for their endorsement.
It has become the norm because it was allowed to. And now Jetstar pilots have spent years dragging through a long and tiresome EBA process. It was all lost on me... fighting for conditions after prostituting yourself by paying for your job in the first place???
"Jetpilot" sounds like another Alan Joyce in the making.
