Getting hired today, (as if this industry has ever hired many "poor" pilots give me a break!) with the "aviation" (roflmao)degrees it's just cheaper for mommy and daddy.
Actually know all about it. I went through the FSI initial ($250) process in about 93'ish and was offered ASA,TSA, & NWAirlink interviews. Couldn't part with $10K so I ended up at a rinky dink scumbag commuter in GRI Nebraska with BE99's and 1900's (GPX). It had a "training contract" to reimburse if we quit. I quit after 1.5 yrs for a 727 job and never paid them. In 97' I was hired at UAL. Never once actually paid an airline to train me. I guess I was fortunate...Maybe.
