But what is that career worth if you're prepared to work for nothing? Why should an employer ever pay you if your love of flying takes precedence over your self respect?
I have no problem with the concept of apprenticeship, and the principle of paying less for less useful personnel, but I have no time for those who devalue my position by working for nothing. I worked bloody hard and for a very long time to get to a reasonably well-paid flying job. Now guys like you come along and effectively tell my employer that I'm too expensive and you'll work for much less - and you want me to support you? Get real!
