Oh no, we're just old, out of touch, egomaniacs that need to learn it's a brave new world now. ANY way you get time in your logbook is fine. If that means paying for a job, then so be it, nothing is sacred. I'll get on the list faster than you so I can have another year at the top pay scale just before retirement. Getting on the list FAST is what it's all about. If the airlines FAA blessed training program says I'm good enough to do the job at 250 hours, then that should be good enough for you line Capts. That minimum standard is all I need to meet. What's your problem with that? I love flying and I'd do it for nothing just to be an airline pilot.

I fear for the future....
