And yet you are a proponent of Pay for Job programs that do nothing other than make the career worse. I mean, why should airlines pay better when people are willing to pay for a job? You make no sense....
"Why not buy a job if you have the money? Who made these rules anyway?"
"The only pilots that care about pay to play are those who are on the rungs below. No one else really cares. The FAA does not care. Future employers really do not care. The customers do not care."
"If someone can create an opportunity for themselves using a check book then why is that so wrong?"
It seems to me that only those who perceive an unfair advantage are the ones to get hot under the collar.

I do not see a conflict here. Everyone makes a huge sacrifice during hard times especially. Some guys are buying a twin and flying it to build time. Others are buying a job. I do not get why some get hot under the collar if others buy their time from a part 135 operator over buying their time in a plane that they own. Either way cash is being used to advance a career.
It makes more sense to me to buy time from a 135 operator. Not only are you getting the experience for less but it makes for better resume fodder as well.
