Sometimes when you are flying professionally it isn't about whether the employer is 'giving you enough time', it is about whether you can be trained in the amount of time they have allocated. It isn't YOU paying for the training anymore. It is YOU being able to absorb the information in a given amount of time. Not everyone can do it.
