There are lots of freelancers in the bizjet world. It has alsways been like this for as long as I can remember. Many of them have another profession or another job beside it. What does it matter if that other job is "musician", "dentist" or "airline pilot"?
Yes I know. I was a part timer myself for several years & I had another income well away from aviation. (I still am a part timer now but without the other income haha) My point was badly worded. Any increase in supply over demand will push down wages, so we don't really want to encourage people into our little world do we? Besides, many (but to be fair not all) airline pilots are boring to fly with. Give me a musician or dentist or porn actress anyday! They are much more interesting people to work and chat with in the main (Actually the last one was one of our flight attendants but you get the idea)
