Hi all!
The problem is simply not enough young people are joining the pilot pool. Why? T&C are bad.
The cause? Management wanted more profits AND pilots let it happen.
Now, bean counters don't value something that they don't pay for. The more they pay the more the perceived value of that item.
It is our task to drive our own price up, pilots sell themselves short all the time and then cry about it afterwards.
At your next interview, how much will YOU ask for?
Or will you simply look at the offer?
What is the price of your service?
Have you ever complained about T&C at an interview?
We are to blame for the current situation through our inaction!
WE have to bring change about, not the airlines.
Next time, state your price.
