Bignumber:
If a rated and licenced (by the Authority) pilot can be sourced cheaper then he will be. If the same 'chap' is willing to pay for the 'experience' then all the better.
No one is either forced to accept poor terms
not forced, but obliged to accept as previous fellows have already ruined the whole system by buying their type or 'experience' as you say.
However helpless is our status with the advent of low cost carriers.
Going on like this, the pilot job will revert to the 60-70's...a job for the rich only!
