Could not agree more!
The problem would appear that the schools train more pilots than the market has jobs for. The result is that some people are prepared to accept sub-standard conditions, eg, pay, work unpaid hours on 'the front desk', in hangars etc. just to get the bosses eye and stay on to get those extra hours.
The fact of the matter is that the boss would not be prepared to come around to my place and attend to the phone for fee - ever!
Nor clean my car and bathroom for free - ever.
So why do some pilots do it. Simple they are trying to get more brownie points in front of the next guy.
My opinion is that if the organisation cannot pay reasonable wages (considering the amount the pilot has spent on training) and give reasonable conditions then that organisation should NOT be inbusiness.
