Puff,
If they were paid the AFAP award or similar, they'd find something else to moan about.
What can possibly be drawn from all of this, if you accept the money, thats your stupid fault, if you do not honour the agreement you make, you will suffer.
What of the plight of a relatively experienced pilot who has a family and a house to pay off, applying to an operator, that wants more money than the QLD minimum award ( say inline with the AFAP ), some dweeb will do it for less ( ohh ohh I just needed to get my 500 multi command ). We all know who gets the job.
So the operator logically chooses the cheaper option, which ultimately turns out to be cheaper in the very very short term, the junior pilot gives two days notice and runs off into the sunset to find QANTAS throwing his application in the bin when his references are checked.
Those who are whinging in this case, have, as a demagraphic, caused the problem.
Sticking a feather in your bum does not make you a Chicken ( Read: if you want to be treated like a professional, act like one ).
