That seems like a real constructive and measured response, based on one persons senses and emotions, with absolutely no basis in real facts.

The job market for low houred pilots will not change anytime soon, as there are thousands out there fishing for their first jobs. Unfortunately for many, there are a few FTO's that are now getting priority on supplying pilots to airlines, which makes it more difficult if you choose to go the cheaper modular route.

If you have few thousand hours on jet, sure the future is bright, if you only finished CPL/ME/IR with your ATPL's, and 250 hours, you will be one of 5000 for every job application. So unfortunately money for TR, age etc. are all things that will count in the selection process.

With the money I spent on training, I could have put that as a deposit on a house, and had my own property today (well the banks property).
Money wise that would have maybe been a smarter investment. Do I regret? Not yet.
But we never know what life will bring in the future.
