By sending applicants to JetU, PCL is just playing a variation of that classic bugaboo: PAY FOR TRAINING.

PCL is trying to make low timers pay for training which PCL should be providing free of charge. Most, if not all, other regionals who are hiring low timers provide them with whatever training is needed for success. Everyone (with low timers) is seeing rises in Sim time and OE required. That's just what it takes. If a company is not willing to provide needed training, then they need to pony up and make the job more desirable so that ol' free market will attract the pilots they want.

Don't pay for JetU. If the company needs JetU, then the COMPANY can d@mn well pay for JetU.

With the market the way it is for pilots, it is just plain absurd for pilots to pay for wasteful outsourced training.
