whats the end game here
Hi i read all you guys have written here.I lost my job on A320 due to the economic crisis.i was with a reputable airline as an FO training to be on left seat in 6 months.Have close to 2000 hrs.Now no job and a morgage to pay,family kids going to school. Also i was earning 108000US$ as FO working 70 hours a month .anything over get overtime till January. Now almost 2 months since last flight. i also work hard like many of you in the Flying school,charter ,joy flights etc.It took 11 years to get to an Airbus A320 was hard work to get there did not had the SJS .because it was a step by step progress .
Now all of a sudden after reaching in the cockpit with very good expereince I mean real flying expereince and the knowledge gained from last 15 years of flying and now not having the Job is tough.
and when Jetstar is taking pilots and paying what you said in the forum which comes to less than half what i was earning till few weeks back.
Choice is simple take it or leave it. i believe i have seen enough in the last two decades to make that decision if i ever apply to jetstar and they offer me a job.
in short everyones situation is different you cant single people out because they accepted an offer because as an Aviator i know what my responsibilities are and my expereince in the cockpit will be good for the money paying passengers because YOU AND I ALL OWE TO THE PEOPLE. I MEAN THE CUSTOMERS WHO PAY AND FLY KEEPS US IN THE JOBS.
so rather than all of us getting upset about things and thinking with out brains.try to find alternates as a TEAM.
good luck to you all
