Government will pay 80% of a pilots wages ........
....to those who are laid off due to Covid 19 (companies will make an application to HMRC to pay the wages). I was laid of in January and all those taxes that I have paid up until then will go to supporting my fellow ATPL holders and their employers who are working at present. Is this a matter of luck or should the unemployed pilots not be getting more help, maybe 80% of their wages when they were laid off in the last year? I wonder how all the Flybe/Thomas cook pilots think about it? Why should all the money that I spent on my ATPL result in me supporting Virgin, BA or Easyjet or should I be happy with my Job seekers allowance?
