I remember the times when you had to build your hours before getting your first big job. I went to the States to do that, also worked for very small companies so I would get my 1000hrs before I got to a mediu airline.

Today its opposite. They take you with the minimum amount of hours whilst you are still hungry for a job, whilst you do ANYTHING to get the job. Whislt you are young too, you dont care too much about anything.

Now, being much older and with perspective in life- its very very different. You dont take anything anymore because there is so much else in life than this crap LCC standards. And the LCC airlines uses young and inexperienced people to take the jobs no-one did even 5 years ago. On crap salaries and conditions.

Safety is already far behind, not only because of all inexperienced crew, but because people are constantly fatigued and not to forget to mention. frustrated and pi*sed off at management!

So whats next?
