I think the point everyone is missing is the gross unfairness of any company trying to tender against a Govt organization which for all intents and purposes uses slaves. I'm sure Sunnyfield has to pay wages plus all the other costs associated with having a business. If the prisoners were costed out @ $50,000 per year I doubt they'd win the contract. If a Govt body wants to win against private enterprise Govt will always win because they don't care how much taxpayers money they lose.
Don't call any illegal strikes. You may find yourself jailed and then tendered out @ $1.50 a day competing against regular contracted pilots.
I repeat - It's unfair for Governments to tender against private enterprise if the real cost of the Govt tender is being subsidised by the taxpayer.
