I would be seriously careful taking up this pay to fly scheme. I have heard that cadets will not be offered employment after the 500hrs. So 26k on this type hmmmm....
Don't think that's true. It's more like a couple of people that don't don't fit in will not progress beyond 500 hrs.
That said, yes 26k for only a promise of 500hrs on an almost useless type is mental. Yet like every other hideous scheme that is destroying this industry they still find endless people that will do it.
