Many pilots with no jet time may jump at this appalling contract. Paying $40,000 (at least two to three times what it really cost j* to endorse a pilot), and a bond on low salary for many years, with a career with them of poor salary and conditions.

They will do it to get jet experience with the idea of bailing out of such a terrible deal as soon as their bond finishes.

The problem is they are screwing pilots salary and packages in Aus down so low they will be forced to live with them for the remainder of their working career OR forced to live o-seas in places like the middle east for the remainder of their working career.

It may seem an exciting thought to start a career o-seas, but it gets old really quick.

Ask me how I know.

Think long and hard.
