My brain is fully engaged thankyou very much. Its the people who entertain these ridiculous "pay to work" schemes that need to engage their brains.
I don't care how hard times may be, the very principle of paying an airline to work on revenue gaining flights is rotten to the core and reeks of sickening desperation. I stand firm in my conviction that those who do so are not professional pilots, but hopeless dreamers, who through their actions compromise the integrity of our profession.
