Fugro is trying to pick themselves up from that problem. They have losed too many pilots due to that. But I must say they, even if they are full of
, they are looking after their pilots a bit better now. Salaries should be getting better in the near future. The problem is they hire all these pilots with fairly low hours. These pilots build a thousand or so hours and then get stolen by airline companies. It's hard to compete with airlines, but if you have pilots who enjoy what they are doing and getting reasonably good pay I'm sure they will stick around a little longer.
That's why I fly helicopters, because there is no way I would ever go into being a busdriver on an airline. So where else do pilots get the chance to fly fast and low, legally, and build quite a bit of hours doing so?
A few years ago Fugro was the place to be. Give it time and pilots might be flocking there again.
