From a different point of view, I am still a contract driver. Looking at most Link pilots they are young guys like myself. I've turned down 2 Link interviews due to pay and do not regret it. I think its a nice setup, but...
Question: Why would you fly for an "airline" like yours and work for as little as you do? Why not stay/do contracts for 30-40k per month, pay off your house and nice car and wait for a more "suitable" airline to give you the call?
Yes some of you are married and need/want to be at home which is fair but not all.
You will fly in SA for the next 30odd years, how boring. Go see the world, make some money and put yourself in a better financial position.
Please air your views as to why you are where you are???
