Agree with you on that point LRT, nobody forces a newbie to clean toilets and drive the CP's kids to school. It's their choice and they shouldn't complain if they prostitute themselves in this fashion. I'm not condoning this type of behaviour, but if nobody took on this form of 'employment' then these clowns wouldn't have a business.
Unfortunately those practicing this behaviour have not managed to get far in aviation and are normally bitter disgruntled individuals who could not make it into the airlines.
Not too sure about that theory
novicef, most of the individuals I have met over the years, who behave in the manner you speak of, couldn't give a fat rats about the airlines.
