The drive to get more bums on seats..not only in the US but also in Europe..is driving down air-fares to ludicrously low levels and cost cutting across the board by the operators is taking its toll... what is the fascination with turning aircraft into Greyhound buses ?
I'll be moving to the States later this year and have been looking at the ads for pilots... a total joke... You'd need horses and chains to get me out of the house for what's being offered... in most cases it wouldn't cover even a modest mortgage... I'm going into property and will buy myself a small single to have some fun with. The employers can go whistle for my 8000 hours.
