Dude,
If you are talking about a place like Gulfstream in FLL... run don't walk from that operation!!
Like many have said....if anything, its just not worth the money!!!
Hiring minimums have gotten to the point that if you really want to fly, all it takes is a year or so of (hard) work as a CFI. You can find a job, the pay might suck, but it will suck less than if you had $50K in loans to pay off at the same time. Flying is expensive enough as it is!!!
Your pay doen't get magically better if you paid your way to that position, it sucks like everyone else's.
Its obvious that other pilot's opinions don't really matter to you, but I'm sure at some point, the money will.
PS If you are talking about a place where you get your ratings for a flat price...then it MIGHT be worth it (if you have the money). Ask lots of questions, make sure you understand EXACTLY what you are paying for and what you aren't, and if they say guarenteed interview, ala DCA look somewhere else.
Amen Brother...
