Seriously?
Wow.
You've got to be pretty thick to accept something like that. There is simply no logical reason for a rational person to sign a contract like that.
I mean, being desparate for a job doesn't even come into it, at that kind of money, even in a deep recession. You have to remember that these are people who committed to their training after Northern Rock went bust.
I don't actually see what's wrong with stuff like this. Paying punters get cheap and mostly fairly safe flights for their holidays. Dreamboats who think they'll look cool in a pilots uniform get to think they look cool in a pilots uniform and airline owners get to make profit.
There are far better ways of earning a living for anyone with a typical pilots intellect.
I feel sorry for the old guys though - those who are too old to change careers. But then no career is for life these days.
