The point many of you are missing is that you should never pay for or be taxed on training, this is training required for your job so it should be not be an expense for you in any way.
In addition, most all answers seen to overlook the point I am trying to make which is deceive potential pilots by false advertisement on what they pay you as a benefit.
Why are the points mentioned above so hard for some of you to understand and sympathize with? We are professionals and as such we shouldn't let some in the industry take advantage of us by making false promises they modify to their advantage.
This is simply not professional from any corporation regardless of the industry they are conducting business at.
Go ask any other professionals in any other field and perhaps you can appreciate the basis on what I am making these statements on before you jump in and defend their deceiving practices
