This wouldn't be a bad way to drum up future pilots in the US. L84,000 training contract paid back L1,000/month over the first 7 years. Might be a way to keep those student loans from wracking up! I think ab-initio could be a viable way for airlines to meet that 'pilot shortage' that is coming... along with restructuring ALPA et al (or getting people in there that actually fight for pilots), convincing Congress to dislodge their head from their rectal area, and convincing airlines to pay on a level that matches every other entry-level job requiring a college degree...
