Hi
You made the right decision
Who do these companies think they are ??
You only get what you pay for in thee World today
Pay Peanuts u get Monkey s (THERE ARE LOTS OF THEM ABOUNT) who will work for nothing,Normally Multi Million pounds Companies who exploite the likes of yourself whilst paying there Executives vast salaries
You made the right decision becasue what go s around comes around and hopefully in the near future these Fat cats who think they can pay nothing for Pilots will learn the Hard way
Its is a pity there cannot be alist made of Compainies who treat Pilots like this and everbody should give the 2 fingers then they would learn but we all sadly know this will not happen
Best of luck in the future and beleive me one day you will look back and say Thank Fxxk I did not take the Job an leave it to the Wxxnkers who will take the Job and learn the hard way.
There are lots of decent companies who operate A/C out there I hope you will find one
Regards
