Gives you a big heads up as to what Scoot think of their prospective employees.
Agreed.
Last time I paid for anything was a Seneca 1 type rating for my MEIR back in the early 90s. Since then I have gone on to the airlines as a turboprop F/O, gained a command, then jet F/O, gained a command. And changed types.
Throughout all of this I have never forked out a cent to get the job. In all cases I have been on full pay and per diems from day 1. If they want me and my experience they need to pay for it. Only once did an airline suggest I self fund a type rating (changing type). I politely declined. A week later they came back to me and said they would fund the rating.
Have a bit of respect for your license and yourself. By showing from the start that you are willing to be shagged up the botty just to have an interview, you can be damn sure when you join
they won't have respect for you.
