Why are people allowing themselves to be exploited like this just to get a jet job? There are still companies out there with relatively humane conditions for new FOs, and yet clearly there are still applicants for these pitiful schemes. Is the lure of the jet so attractive? I honestly can't understand it. I know for a fact that there are TP jobs out there which don't involve nonsense 'flexi' contracts. Are there no instructor jobs? What about air charter?
