I just watched a French television special about the lengths some pilots go through to get a job flying an airliner. Seems that pay for training is a booming business for brokers and sim rental companies.
with a fresh commercial license you can pay $50,000 and get a type rating and 10 hours with an airline, then a possiblity of a job at that company ( with pay so low, McDonalds entry level makes more).
Is there any kind of list that tracks these pilots who pervert the pay system in aviation? If not there should be, just like the scab lists from unions.
