Hello everyone,
there's a FS in Slovenia that provides 0-ATPL + A320 type rating and 1,250 hrs of Line training and flying, so you can reach up to 1,500 hrs total time.
The investment is significant, I believe its 185,000 EUR, but you end up with an unfrozen ATPL, with which entry salaries are much bigger then being non-type rated and low hours.
What do you think, is the return on investment worth it?

Regards!

Or, you could just think sensibly and try and get an actual reputable airline to hire you and get paid for the hours you fly. Pay 2 Fly schemes are the last think any new pilot should be considering. I'm not sure who told you that you'll get better salaries once you have an unfrozen ATPL, everyone usually joins an airline on a year 1 pay scale. The ATPL only grants you the ability to become a commander if an airline chooses, however if all of the hours were from a P2F scheme then I doubt anyone would consider that experience for a direct entry scheme. Avoid.

yeah this sounds so sketchy. get a standard fATPL and join an airline as an SO/cadet.

Stay away from p2f. Are you sure they will give you 1500 hours? Where will you have to go for that and who will support you for those extra 2-3 years? If its genuine your 185k will turn onto 300k and you'll have a known p2f airline on your CV and potentially no one will touch you.

Was talking to a pilot already on line flying with that airline and he assured me that he's flying 70 hrs per month in top seasson, already surpased 600 hrs in last year and a half... apparently the pilots on this program even get somekind of salary or money back after 100 hrs I beleive.
Well he only did the fATPL in UK prior to Brexit, so overal his training was higher than that because of the fATPL price.

Which airline?
I did a bit of Googling for this scheme and I couldn't find anything...
