from a soon to be Low Hours Pilot

Jack

I am sorry to say that this is not the first time I have heard of this sort of this in the industry, but it is the first time I have seen any evidence. Thanks for sharing you experience

Looking at the letter this is a story from Oz. Employment Law in the UK is much tougher and I would hope that nobody in the UK is allowing their employer to behave in this way. I currently work in IT for and investment banking and there is always talk of going the extra mile, but not to the point of putting you in debt. 'When I was a lad....' talk is no excuse , employers should never be allowed to exploit the workforce. At the end of the day we all work to live not the other way around.

Tough talk from someone who is about to try to break into the industry, I know lets hope I can walk the walk as well


Thanks again Jack
