Yeah.........back in my day you joined a "CAREER" Airline and stayed, they paid well and no Bond was even thought of.
It's only the cheap charlie Airlines that screw the Pilot's now. And why? because guys/girls keep throwing themselves at the jobs.
Me me me.......
The race to the bottom continues.
p.s. I'm a CX Pilot and I find fault with it, as would a BA, AF, KL, DL, UA Pilot.
Just looked up my dictionary to check the spelliing of Career and guess what I found?
careerist
n :
person who seeks advancement by any possible means
That is the war cry of the LCC Pilot if I ever saw it.
