pilots are many times their own worst enemy
Exactly because of people like this :-
And if I'd spent 70k-100k on training and was offered a job, I hate to admit it, but yeah, I'd have to take the job I'd have no choice
People who are so desperate to get a flying job that they will gladly shaft others and accept ever decreasing terms and conditions in order to achieve it without realising (or probably caring) about how it is making it worse for everyone in the long term.
Due to these sort of people we now have airlines like FR where YOU have to PAY to apply for the job, PAY for the interview, PAY for the t/r, PAY for the uniform etc etc....whilst NOT being paid to train and it is slowly spreading to other airlines too.
I have recently qualified and like most other low houred f/atpl's, I'm struggling to find a job, but I'll be voting with my feet as I DO have a choice - I will not apply for a job with that awful company.
Good luck with your vote to get union recognition.
