As usual it's quite difficult to extract the facts from the postings. If it is true that Line Captains won't be paid extra for taking on training duties, then:
1. it doesn't surprise me
2. why do they do it?
3. how do RYR get away with it?
As for us low experience people, I was thinking about this the other day. You won't be able to escape cr*p terms and conditions at this end of the market, because of supply and demand. The most basic law in economics: low experience pilots are in good supply, but there is not much demand!!!
Just have to hope for a lucky break. If that lucky break comes with getting my 737 hours in with f***ing SeamusAir, so be it.
Would MUCH rather sell my soul to Stelios, who's actually a rather nice bloke (I've met him, but then again who hasn't?).
