It's not helping the industry. After you get your CPL and the respectable amount of flight time, you don't pay for anything else. ( Types, ATP's etc). Hack after you get 250 hours and a CPL, you shouldn't ever have to pay to fly again.

Paying for this course goes hand & hand with those hated ( I dare to say it) Pay to Play programs. To me it's the same thing.
