and i for one would do what ever it took to get the right job
And at what point do you stop prostituting yourself?
Just remember, there's
ALWAYS an excuse for flying for free. Whether it be from the pilot who just wants hours, or the GA company that can't possibly pay you because the margins are too small; To the largest airlines who have to reduce your wages and conditions because of the latest "crisis" to hit aviation (And there's always a crisis when it comes time for EBA negotiations).
If any pilot can make a valid argument for flying for free then I'd suggest that their talents are wasted in the cockpit. You should join a HR department in an airline and make a great living making an argument for why other pilots should fly for free.
