Now who keeps the airline going and deserves all that cash?!
FOK
Actually most people join aviation because they love flying and not that failed in business.
Look we as pilots and unions need to reach out to the young of today. If we do what our predeccesors did which is only care about the top tier we are degrading the industry beyond any reasonable doubt to an all time low.
I think someone from the outside of FR needs to create and union and once that happens its all but over for MOL and the SSTR's, and horrible wages. (I dont care about pay too much if there are benefits added in. As an American one question is about socialized health care and how do I get it if I work for a EU carrier? BecauseI need to work anyway until I get lucky and find a women; work is but one level of possibility, plus if I'm going to commute?)
It enrages me though to see newbies like myself not being taught that flight instructing is the easiest and simpliest way to go to get that job. That being a FI allows you to have a new love of flight and gives you that final test.
