The press will only care if an accident happens.
They have been a couple of articles on it recently on pilots in states, only got middle of paper press, or online links tucked away within the bowels of the website.
Joe public wont care, they just want cheap flights. If a safety incident were to occur then it would be a different matter..
I can already hear the airlines pre-written defence,
"said pilot was fully qualified to fly the type of aircraft and has satisfied all JAA requirements..., the said pilot actually recieves a salary of £50 per hour which is very good compared to the rest of the country in times of recesion"
not mentioning it is only £50 per hour when they are actually flying...which is what the public think happens, walk up, start the jet and off to malaga.
Only way to stop it is to not sign up to it!! walk away from OAA/CTC, never pay to work. Don't be a cock.
