The fact that you just splashed out your CV just shows clearly you have an axe to grind and you turn this subject around your ideology of what you think it is right. My answer was not even directed to you personally, but as a general approach to the industry.

AFAIK, the regulator is the where the company has they AOC registered - in the case, either the IAA, ULC ir CAD. And while you have governance responsibilities as an operator, none of these bodies regulate the type of contract or pay you have. You can mention all the ORO you like, just give me an industry where a skilled worker gets paid the same as before and after training. How about legacy airlines that now also charge for ratings? Do you think it was only RYR? Or EZY? How about TUI that charged £7k for a 6 month OCC contract after COVID? Haha.

I don't know where you've seen RYR runs a P2F scheme, or ask pilots to fly while being unpaid. If you have those facts, I highly recommend you present them to the relevant authority, or a court, or even your MP, rather than a public forum.

And for clearance of doubt - I don't approve any kind of malpractice. I just don't point the finger to anyone specific, because everyone does it, either disguised or blatantly. You just seem to fail to accept this, hence why I said you need a reality check.
