All the best professions have their candidates pay to work before getting a job. Why is it wrong for aviators to pay for learning opportunities but not other respected professionals? Solid aviation internships followed by strong airline training departments and quarterly recurrent training could make a world of difference for us.
Because they get paid like professionals, plus I already paid my $60,000 in training costs, so your point holds no value. When a nurse has finished their education and have spent a year or two working for money, do they pay the hospital they want to work at a ton of money so they can eventually get paid by said hospital?
I cant believe this is even being argued.
