the aviation industry is CRAP!!!!!
Why? Well it is because the people involved in it (i am talking about the pilots) actually have a passion for flying. what does this mean? it means that they are willing to do anything to do the job they love. companies such as skippers know this and they exploit it.
i have mates in other industries earning 70K in their first jobs with company cars and loads of other benifits such as company charge cards, all expences paid trips for them and their partners once tarkets have been made, etc.
who are we kidding, we are never going to get the respect, pay and conditions that we deserve. especially when you have little fresh cpl pilots that pay to sit in the right hand seat instead of going bush to get the experience they need to progress through their career.
my 2 cents worth.
