Even that is not 100% great like some may lead us to believe. Some companies put them in a 10 year or greater contract. Their Airbus or Boeing training actually comes out of their pockets. They pay a little out of each check towards the cost of their training. From what I hear from my former students, the cost is 50 grand and upwards. If they leave early the owe every penny right there. So there they are stuck 10 years a what may be a sucky company. It's their own version of living the dream!
