birdaman:
I am currently training towards my cpl(h). About 110 hrs module 1 exams complete, and due to problem with work, I will not be able to afford FI rating. Is it worth me even continuing to cpl(h)? Is anyone likely to employ low time cpl? Am willing to work part time for next to nothing in order to get my hours up.
And once again we are reminded...as if we needed reminding...why helicopter pilots will NEVER be paid a decent salary. As long as there are those who will do for free what we do for money, then we who have experience and longevity will be eternally looking over our shoulders for our replacements. "Birdaman" will one day be in a position where he has experience, and he will no doubt react indignantly when the *next* young, "I'll-fly-for-free" wannabe shows up expecting help. But you cannot tell him this now, as all he wants to do is fly.
For free.
And so it goes.
Go piss up a rope, birdaman.
