See snaga, this is my problem. Because of the "peacocks", all that is left for me it seems is the MOR route and several years of cheap labour as you say. A lot of people who think they know it all on this and other forums became pilots in a time when if you became a cadet (with EI) for example, you were guaranteed a job with them on good wages and conditions. Now, I am sure you are going to have a story about how hard you worked and how much it cost, but I don't care about that because that does nothing to improve my position. There I go again, thinking about myself..Maybe I am cut out to be a "peacock".
