Stick Flying
First of all you need to relax a bit, you must have had a bad day at work.
I have nothing against expats. Your quote about them taking “ My Job” and then insulting me, just shows how you drifted off the subject for no reason.
Sorry but have a grip on your emotions, Take a chill pill….
I never stated any of the above remarks in my posts. Besides I am currently seeking work in an expat environment.
My point was, there are people that build a bad reputation for their colleagues in the profession. Especially in small limited circles.
You speak of reputable airlines, I am not discussing on that level. I speak of small operators in general.
Most entry-level pilots do not have a choice of joining reputable airlines. They have got to seek work anywhere. If you present yourself to a job in the current climate only to be told to get type rated, as we have had people breaking their work contracts after we trained them. How would you feel?
Have you heard of independent contract pilots in the US? They pay for their type ratings (up to 50K USD) and sit home waiting for freelance work. Would you classify that as prostitution?
I appreciate your advice though. I am not faced with this choice now or yet.
But I would seriously consider it if offered.
Aeronavigant.
