Another brilliant idea, Charliethewonderdog

The public don't want to be educated and are already aware that there are shortages of many other skills besides piloting.

... how Companies have treated pilots for the last twenty years with terms and conditions.
The pilots have not been mistreated! They have been paid about as well as the industry can afford - every industry tends to pay their staff about as well as it can afford.

How is it that you are not aware of these basic, basic realities of the world you live in, the country you live in, and the industry you work in? Do you live under a rock but come out occasionally just to post brilliant ideas on PPrune?

You seem to be in a seething rage about how "exploited" the pilots have been. Tell me something. When you sell your house to somebody, obtaining the best price in the process, do you feel you have exploited that person because you extracted a good price?

You need to come to terms with some of the little realities of this industry. One of those little realities is that it is largely dependent on pilots paying vast sums to self fund their training.

Get with it.
