We never cease reading threads about pilots trying to improve their condititions following a strong dregradation in the past few years but then again, who's fault is it ?
Dumb pilots who agree to those conditions or even worse. Indeed all too often pilots have created those conditions themselves.
Things such as
"Will fly for free"
"Will type rate myself"
"Will not fly for free but for twice less than the others"
"will sell my mum to get a job (note: House has been sold to fund training,... if you had one that is
) are just one of the tricks pilots use to beat each other at the game of landing a job.
Problem is that in suggesting or going ahead with that kind of stuff, it isn't a job we are going to get but more like a very uncertain and difficult future.
If we don't have respect for ourselves, how can we expect it to from our employer ?
Respect is something you diserve not something you buy at the local market.
