Interestingly, TUI in Belgium have just started the only 'taking pilots off the street' route I have heard of in recent years. They hire applicants untrained, on completion of selection, pay for all the training, then keep them on a cadet salary for a while to recover the cost. They have taken this path because they were unhappy with the quality of pilots being fed to them by certain big schools.
Its an attractive plan, and I'm sure massively oversubscribed. The really interesting bit was that they stood up at a conference in Berlin last week and said "...and now we know what flying training costs, its 55,000 euros, including type rating". Anything else is profit.
There's a massive and obvious issue here. Companies-who-shall-not-be named are producing a generation of pilots in debt, purely to line their own pockets. And not a small, respectable, 'everyone has to make a living' profit, this is obscene. €130K is 'remortgage mum's house' money.
