Guys,
NO ONE SHOULD WORK FOR FREE!
The bottom line is if there are people out there willing to do this, it is de-valuing our jobs! The young/old inexperienced pilot should do an APPRENTICESHIP!
Training is a whole lot of fun, but it doesn't fully prepare you for the outside world of commercial aviation! Having done a Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship many years ago before my flying life, it sey me up with the experience´s and knowledge to go out and get a job and be comfortable in that role.....
For a young/old inexperienced pilot to be let loose on a large commercial jet straight out of training, and working for free DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!
It is not Rocket Science! All we need is some kind of Apprenticeship structure where as a new Pilot is´serving his time´, and not for FREE!
BALPA should and could get involved in this! Any takers from BALPA?.....And please not the usual excuses, they don´t have the time, resources etc...
