Why aren't the regulating authorities working to stop this? Sooner or later this totally undermine the pilots rights in the future.
I'm guessing if this happened in any other industry, that industry would be up in arms and the governments would take a stand on it. Why isn't this happening to the aviation industry.
why? because we are the authority.
This is called free democracy.
Until now, passengers don't complain, so why should they make pression on our authorities to stop these schemes?
Pilots just have to say NO, and P2F will stop.
It' s happening in many other industry, advertising by exemple, where young professionals pay companies (or work for free), for 6 months, then are out, and have to find another unpaid position.
Count they have to pay fuel, transport,... they still sleep at mom's house eating food with dad money. This is called Pay to Work in my point of view.
Why do they accept this? why they don't take the time to look for a proper job?, try to know people? because at school they have been fed with answers to their questions and have never learned to work by themselves(EU/US mentality !).
Instead to waste your money in these idiotic P2F schemes, take the time to travel and meet people around you, this is how it works, or you will be part of the 99% of unemployed pilots stealing food at the airport between 2 P2F's flights.
forget about sending CV, or asking for P2F scams...it's not working!
