Here Here Stokken,
They called me looking for ATR42 drivers. The wage they offered nearly made me fall off my chair. It was actually insulting!!
Althoughthey are not alone (their are other agencies that try the same game) they are by far the worst. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that they are offering delliberately low rates to obtain business. The effects of this are obviously passed onto the poor b*****d that ends up flying for a shiney penny and sleeping on a flea infested bed! Of course, Rishworth will still walk away with their $1000's. It really gets on my wick!
We try to operate in a professional industry that involves us spending a small fortune to get the specific training and licensing required to be allowed anywhere near a cockpit, just for idiots like Rishworth to come along and slice the market prices to bits. I was always of the impression that contractors got paid more than perm pilots, to reflect the short length of the contract, maybe the incovenience of constant relocation, perhaps even the locatoin itself.
These guys are screwing it for all of us, and I for one will no longer bend over and take up the.............!!!!!
Rant over, for now!
