Be Careful!!!

Hello everyone, I want to warn all of you about those companies that charge a pilot for their training. They claim that for a set amount of money, you can fly their B737 or CRJ. This is a bad business practice, and should be avoided by all pilots. They are trying to rip you off!!

Outrageous!

self sponsor training

I did encounter 2 companies in far east which charge their candidates for training fees. USD 32,000...!!! and promise 3 years contract to fly their 737. The most ridiculous was, they charge USD170 for the interview plus another 100 for the introducing fees. What a scam.

No worries bonanza41, pilots on the whole are far too smart to get taken in by such underhanded schemes!
