Doesnt it worry people on this agency thing. Because if all the airlines used agencies then they could have different amounts of staff each day/season etc. So in the summer you could be offered work but then the winter you get nothing. Its great for the airlines but for you as a pilot its *****, you lose out, you get no job security or anything, and you only work when its busy, so you go for the rest of the year without cash. And you get no perks or benefits, and you have to pay for your own type ratings etc, this has happened in other professions, when will the airlines jump on the band wagon
