Pay away !

How long will it be before you realize that the worsening terms and conditions you are likely to experience are because those coming up from below you are also happy to pay and fly for nothing. Who can blame employers who decide to follow this route since it will further slash their costs.

Your monetary worth to these employers is measured in what they have to pay to employ you. It shouldn't take them to long to realize that you are bargain basement material, and when you start to demand money, get rid of you and move on to the next person who will also work for free. Still you can always move on to the next employer who is presumably by then also wondering why he needs to pay you when people will work for free.

Terms and conditions for low experience F/O's are already falling to reflect the plentiful supply of low hour/ no experience wannabees. Those new reality T&C's are also spreading up through the scales.

Bit of a bleak outlook if you were hoping to make a good living out of this ?
