BBT dont judge everyone by your own standards. You make it seem like there is some naivety on my part in accepting the terms and conditions of my position with FR.
Let me make it clear that there is none. I fully understand that having paid entirely for my type rating I may still have no job in a days time, a months time or a years time. I shall also answer
Pressman and
Aloue here too.
If I get canned then it is because I did not work hard enough, was not good enough or did not fit in well enough. Why is this so hard for you to believe. I come from a background where you step up to the plate and take your chances. I am happy to gamble my entire family's savings, everything I have ever worked for, my home and everyone I know for the chance to find out if I am in the right place. If I am not then it is because of the above not someone elses fault.
Will I say the same in a years time if they throw me out on my ear, errm yep because this is life and sh1t happens. It's how you cope with the downs that defines you; everyone is going to be happy when it is all going their way. I've had worse, seen worse and been worse and the industry still does not owe me a living.
You may ask yourself why I am so willing to happily risk it all well that is simple. I think it is worth it and I would ask you why you are not willing to risk everything you have and /or are if you love it so much?
Pressman on Pay Re pay yes there is an increase in the basic the increase is 300 Euros a month but that is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Having given up a very well paid job to do this I am more than aware that the pay is poor. I never said it wasn't!! I said I know and I don't care because I get to fly 738s. Frankly if they didn't pay me at all I would still be there (and no I can't afford it) Well over £100k in debt and frankly don't care it is only money and I will swop all of it to fly the line happily. I get more in debt every day with FR but I wake up before the alarm clock every morning because I get to go flying.
If there was no contract I would still be there so stop second guessing poeple like me it's called taking a risk, try it
