I own two companies in aviation that have been hard hit by COVID...
Even so, we have found a way to not put a single staff member off, in fact we recently needed to employ an extra one as a result of our team’s monster effort to keep us afloat.
That new pilot gets proper pay and conditions.
Our team continues to pull strongly together and for that I am truly grateful.
My point, for the avoidance of doubt, is that if you offer to work for free - you are cutting the throat of my team and destroying the chance for us to be there “on the other side”.
If I learn who you are, you will be blacklisted from opportunities with our companies, at least. I will make an effort to spread that sentiment to my industry peers.
Maybe that’s seen as trivial by the selfish or ignorant - but it’s a message that needs to be received loud and clear...,
