Seems like the Golden Rule applies here.....him what. has the gold writes the rules.
The Pilot acting as an independent contractor has to negotiate his own deal.....don't think for a second you will be able to get much if any cooperation from fellow contractors.
Supply and demand determines the wage rate, perks, benefits and other consideration....and finding a court of review that works for the pilot is going to be tough sledding.
Ask any former Bristow Pilot who enjoyed the BIAGLE contract that found its home in the Channel Islands for administration.
