are we to assume you too are fuelling the P2F frenzy that's resulted in awful Terms and Conditions for the entire industry?
In other words, how
is your salary?
No. I have never paid to fly. I did, however, self-fund my type rating because the
only job available to me in the already
industry - which I guess must be
your fault because I have only just arrived on the scene - was with a company who requires new FOs to pay for their own ratings.
My salary isn't
. I'm earning the same in my first year as a commercial pilot as I was earning as a Solicitor. It's not great but I'm doing what I've always wanted to do, I enjoy my job, and I can now support my family without coming home every night hating my 9-5 job.
P2F and SSTRs are here to stay. You can't blame me or anyone who joins the aviation industry in the future with diminishing terms and conditions. If you were joining the industry now you would be in the same crappy boat.
