Some of the comments on here are really spiteful. This is a forum. You do not know who is on the other end of that keyboard, you don't know their story, their background, their financial situation or their motives.
Their motives are actually quite clear: to sit on that big, shiny jet whatever the costs.
Who are you to judge how they achieve what they want to achieve? So what if 'their way' seems a bit backwards? I couldn't care less if someone who loves flying becomes an airline pilot first and a stunt pilot later. I don't care if they pay £50,000 or £150,000 to get in the same seat.
Everyone is different, that is something to be happy about - not moan about.
If their behaviour will affect mine and everyone else's capability to get a job thanks to $$$ and not personal merit, I have every right and every reason to judge them.
When you prostitute yourself you lower the bar for everyone else in your industry.
