First short for PicMas, you got to love the hypocrites of this world, or has your world changed so much since 2007? Aviation has changed a lot since 2007 for sure.

Referring to your own interest in Air Atlanta Icelandic, seriously and you come to make judgment on Lo Co Pilots?
Kast ikke stein, dersom du selv sitter i glasshus!
The problem with some of you guys, is that you left the grassroots long time ago, it's a different market there now, and I agree it's not all good!
The fact is that today companies do offer bonds and SSTR, but now they deduct pay for the TR from your pay, vs SSTR the cost works out the same, but when SSTR you are not bonded by the company ! And they pay you full salary!
So what is the best way forward than?
It's not black or white, every company is different! People are not free to choose, I know so many with 2000 - 4000 hours SEP/MEP with no chance of job unless they pay own TR!
The way I see it the Captains have the power to take a stand, Captains can't be easily replaced!
Wil they take a stand to protect their professions TC's?
Risk their career to save the future of aviation?
I don't think so, that's the problem, everybody thinks of themselves!
