I could go on with examples all day, but can't really be bothered.
Don't you get it, other companies only have to offer a package slightly better than FR, to get people. This is where the rot. You can go on all day about moving apres Fr to better jobs, but your very actions are reducing the likelihood of those better jobs actually being much better. Wake up.
So CamelhAir, what would you like us low houred pilot's do ?
Perhaps we should hang around in the 'wings' for a few more years...perhaps shell out £6k for a FI rating so we can get a job earning £12k a year. Or mabey fly in africa and leave the family at home, because of the nature of contract work in africa. (ive been there looking and it aint to easy to get a job either).
All this to 'protect' the T&C of pilots already in the airlines, what other industry has this bizzare situation ?
I think perhaps you need to do some waking up yourself.
All the items you mention above seem to be the natural progression of your average pilot....what makes it so wrong ? Is the ambitious pilot or wannabe a danger to the T&C of the established pilot ?
mmmmm.....sorry I just dont get it
