You have the owner whom cannot understand why people do not want to fly his GLEX on a 365 days on roster for 5000$ based in Africa.
And you have normal companies, for which, the opportunities are scarce since the pilots will retire with the plane/company/owner.
A Flying job is 60% Type Rating 35 % luck 5% competence...unfortunately, it used to be a time where competence and experience were at the front end.. today is saving peanuts..
All these jets falling out of the sky the last 10 years because of the only 5% competence you speak of. All these kids that bought type ratings crashing left right and centre. The industry has changed and is changing again as we speak. It is what it is as they say.
