I was on the airline operations side of the fence for a time and now find myself newly qualified as a pilot experiencing all the head aches that I previously really didn't give two hoots about.
Sorry but thats the harsh reality of the aviation industry, airlines take on pilots that fit the profile, hours and age limits. If I now have to work for peanuts for a period in order to meet those requirements then what chioce do I have in order to me my career aspirations.
The older wiser guys out there that can look back on there career and the industry and its demise, I really to understand your point of view but what choice to low hours guys have? Go back to our previous job, let the large investment in the training go to waste? I find it morally wrong what type of bonding arguments airlines offer, especially the one I just came from.
But if offered the position I will take it – if you were being truthful you would also given your time again?
