Did somebody say a european pilot shortage.......
IF that is the case why is there still P2F going on? If there was a shortage, bottom feeder cargo ops like west atlantic wouldn't be able to get away with charging £17000 for an ATP rating. If there was a pilot shortage my terms and conditions would have improved. I might have got a pay offer that would at least meant I would have been offered something that would have kept my wages increasing. Well at least at the same rate as the cost of living and inflation. But no.
As has been said before, When I can fly and earn in america then I will be more than happy to see the americans doing the same here. Until then our bloody unions should be lobbying to sort this out. I pay BALPA enough. European pilot unions, we pay you to represent our interests, SORT IT OUT.
