Its real simple as far as i'm concerned. If these f**ks running the airlines in this country want to keep wages this low they will have to pay for the pilots home and by that I dont mean a 2 bedroom unit, it has to be a minimum of a 3 bedroom home. Why the f**k do I need to go back to my trade on my days off to survive?? No one with a professional career at this level should have to worry about a side job to feed their family! A professional should go to work to earn a decent income and put some money in investments. They should not be worrying about f**king side hustles!
