QldPilotGuy, virtual slap in the neck for you too, don't you see that people like you who accept to fly for nought lower pay and T&C's for everyone in the industry, especially for low hour pilots?
You're directly contributing to the low entry salary you'll have to accept in your next job.
Simple supply and demand. If the operator can't find anyone who'll fly for nothing, they'll offer pay before they keep the meatbombers of the ground. If they can't fly anyone to fly for below award, they'll pay award. (Need proof? Look at postings of around a year ago.) Subsequent salaries build to a degree on the ones paid at the levels below, so you're helping screw up earnings for everyone.
Extremely silly IMHO, not to mention very very selfish
Where's your self respect?
Call me simple, but get paid nothing, be worth nothing.
As long as people like you are willing to sell themselves short, we'll never get decent pay and conditions in this industry. So for your own sake and for the sake of all your flying colleagues tell your boss you want to get paid award or you'll leave!
Rant over.
