I think some of the judgment has to do with the fact that we that actually fly the CR7 for a living don't even have an extra $3500 laying around to spend on rent or student loan payments. Why doesn't he make a deal that he'll work for free for the first month if THEY pay for it. That's one month pay for an FO on the CR7 at most airlines in the US. I'm not one to dump one months pay for the possibility of maybe being able to have a pilot job. But that's just me. I have more important things to spend my money on.
