"Vision and other airlines where you pay for an actual job, and yes, I agree, these are unethical arrangements."
Just a quick FYI. Vision is no longer pay to play. The April 25th 2008 class was paid 18.00 per flight hour with an 80 hour Gaurantee. (Do228) (of course the whole class is furloughed right now....crossing my fingers for a call back soon)
