It is up to the individual pilot should they decide to accept the terms and conditions on offer, even if revised. Personally I don’t know of any airline in the rest of the world that trains ab initio pilots. There was a few years ago mostly in Europe, and that ceased with the remaining trainees then told to work down the back as cabin crew until a flight deck job materialised. No I am not Management and yes I am looking for a job. I almost didn’t go to the LGW roadshow due to the postings here but I am glad I attended now.
There are far worse deals on offer out there believe me.
