[QUOTESpoke with someone a couple of months back,.....]they would take him for summer contract on airbus but could not afford to pay him.[/QUOTE]
Someone is thus a complete idiot. Do you think for one moment that if said company can afford to run a Airbus, they can't afford to pay a pilots salary (which is rather small per month compared to a lease cost)?
Or put it another way. Does this idiot think that if they could't find someone to fly for free that they would ground the aeroplane rather than pay someone to fly it?
The inability of people to see the big picture is mind-boggling
