Is this it?
Hey, so has anyone got any good tails of P2F? I am not for it and I am not against it.
In fact due to misfortune I have ruined my best chance and I had that shiny jet job in the right hand seat buzzing across Europe and it is amazing. I would give my left nut to get there again ( they can't take my medical off me for having one nut.....right?
)
But I fear the industry has now gone this way, correction is this way. I have searched high and low and everyone wants 500hrs on type and my 170hrs just won't cut it. So I think I am going to have to join the clan and P2F. Even looking for turboprob jobs, you need a type rating and hours on type. $$$$ Even to do parachute dropping in Plymouth I needed to spend £1000 to get the rating and got no pay while doing the job!!
I totally agree with everyone who said it is killing the industry it really is, but then let me put this question out. When was our job worth £60,000 plus a year? Look how many pilots are out there these days, our job isn't special like it was 20 / 30 years ago.
Take me. I am 24. I am 80k in the red and will most likely go to 110k. So after P2F assuming I get a job I am paying it back on my wage of £28k ( after tax ) per year as an FO for 2 years / then £35k ( after tax ) for 4years as an SFO / then £55k ( after tax ) as a captain for 30 years.
Now I won't add that up, but that additional £30k to get that reward worth it I think. Maybe I am wrong, well in fact I am sure there are lots of you who will tell me I am wrong, and deluded and a
. But if you haven't sat up at 37,000' an seen the sunset over Europe then you can keep your views to yourself.
I will get to that right hand seat again, if I have to pay and work 20hrs a day to do so I really don't care.
Now on the count of 3, 1-2-3 ATTACK!!!!!!!!!

Merrey, have you not asked yourself why you ruined your best chance flying an airbus in Europe? It doesn't matter what others think of p2f, the question must and should be why you didn't make it (I presume) with some of the worlds best trainers with the orange airline. Is another £30k going to make a difference? I think not . . .

where is your ATP?you still need to pay another 830h.
assuming I get a job I am paying it back on my wage of £28k ( after tax ) per year as an FO for 2 years / then £35k ( after tax ) for 4years as an SFO / then £55k ( after tax ) as a captain for 30 years.
why the hell someone want pay you, when thousand of pilots like you pay to play?
think about it?why do you think you have no job? it's because too many people now pay to fly and airlines are the winners, and as long people like you pay to fly, and screw everybody for this hobbyfly, there won't be any PAID jobs for you and for us.
