They are taking advantage of the pilot surplus that is prevalent at the moment. God may it die soon.
They only pay while you are on the job. I.e. if you are sitting at home waiting for them to call and they don't need you, no pay. I know of a case of 6 weeks and counting.
If you are prepared to pay for the "privilege" of flying an old, albeit a large A/C, then the job is for you.
