Answer to your post
I agree with you,
There are times, when you are getting old, where you have not so many opportunities to get a job, and as such have to accept whatever is available on the market. We had the economic crisis and I am getting old. It is not easy when you have to work and the market is bad...
Even with 21.000 hours and Captain on the B744 at KLM, I couldn't get a decent job because of my medical history. JAA is OK when you stay in Europe.
I did not get paid out so far. I have now to go to Justice to get my money and will stay as far as I can from these crooks.
Best regards,
