"Althought I am against P2F, I had to invest in a TR to get where I needed in my career".
Now, I'm really confused.
Last week (in a Wizz thread) you were bemoaning the deteriorating terms and conditions in Bucharest in your company. Now, you make the above statement about being where you need to be in your career.
Can you see why companies like W6 can treat their pilots the way they do, especially when there's a willingness to "invest" in something that your employer (W6 - or whichever "service provider" you are forced to work through) should be doing for you.
Such willingness to "invest" is killing our careers. No benefits is now normal. Certainly no housing allowances in W6 and elsewhere. You can't have it both ways - either accept that it's difficult to get a jet job without "investing", or accept the fact that more people have followed your example and "invested", thereby cheapening our profession yet further.
Glad to hear you can afford a new car however. Perhaps things aren't as bad as you first made out?
