I did mention in my post about high standards etc, so I did not overlook the rigourous regime the military guys and gals are put through. Again, deciding whether a green bag goes over the blue one does not further a guys competency in terms of whether a particular approach might be too hairy to conduct. the two jobs have absolutely no connection whatsoever in terms of knowledge, skills and abilities.
Let's see it for what it is. Supply and demand. And this exploitation is condoned and perpetuated by all and sundry on both sides. A whole workforce has been beaten down and battered to the point that they are conditioned to believe that this is one of the primary means to break into the industry.
The irony of the CMA position is that you would actually make more working on the ramp than you would on the RHS. What a high price these operators ask us to pay to work in our chosen profession! I did show interest in this position and I could not bring myself to accepting these terms and conditions (that was of course assuming I'd get selected
).
