It seems that everybody is quick to demand these pilots to refuse to fly until they are paid. That is fine however in my experience, if i refuse to fly then i get fired. I go home, no job, no job prospect, and no immediate hope to a paycheck. Also, I wont see a dime from the company that fired me for non payment.
I am now past a year looking for employment. Alll my friends that just put up with it, have earned more than a 100 grand. Late as it may be, I am broke and unemployed with my house foreclosed on.
But hey, I got my pride for refusing to fly without pay.,
This didnt happen at Arik.
