Guaranteed Money Making Idea for ALL Pilots

Here is a novel IDEA!! that will benefit all professional pilots ( and those who want to be)

Boycott all Pay for Fly airlines for 6 months....first, those who want to pay and those desperate to fly big airplanes for nothing, will not be forking over thousands of dollars they most likely dont have ( big money saver ) and that will force these airlines to rethink their hiring practices to the point that they will have to actually hire and pay candidates to fullful pilot positions. If there are ABSOLUTELY NO PILOTS out there willing to accept current pay to fly schemes things WILL change.

Second...those who are flying the big airplanes will not be forced into recessionary contracts due to low wages ( if any ) at the pay to fly operators.

Its a win win situation for ALL Professional Pilots for now and the future but will take a collective effort by all in the industry....Low Cost Airlines does not necessarily mean Low Wages....look at Southwest Airlines...some of the highest paid 737 drivers around.

Our profession has been desimated by these schemes and respect is no where to found anymore.....Please Please RESPECT this once proud profession and maybe sanity will return and we will all be making money again!!!
