All,
I keep reading about Pilots in the North Sea being hard done by.
Think about the other options;
Fly Charter Fixed wing, land Manchester, time off, pick up next flight in London, next day.
Ok, hire car and nice hotels paid for, but no going home at 4 o'clock in the afternnon,to your mansion in rural Scotland.
Fly Cheapskate Airlines, no probs, one bed flat in Luton, #150,000, still bouncing off your 800 hours a year, they're not going to let you get away with not doing the max hours in a year.
The North Seas not that badly paid. Ok if you compare senior captian with a Charter to senior Captian with the North Sea, there's a difference, but your not going from flying a pig to being in charge of a 757 in one step, you'll start at the bottom. How much diffrence then?
What happens when Mr Spanish Bus driver goeson Strike, or ATC. You'll get home sometime! ABZ closes at 10pm!
Thisnk about and get real. You'll get a payrise, but no the 100% or whatever ridiculous sum you want.
