As an unemployed pilot I have been browsing the Web Sites of
some of the Recruitment Agencies. I went to the Rishworth web
page and read through the vacancies page, none suitable for me
though. I read with horror that they were advertising for MD83
Training Captains. Basic salary US$3,500 and Per Diems US$1200
for 80 hours. meaning that they take a big cut on your Overtime
as well. Why are these Agencies doing this to us. Why are they
exploiting the fact that there are a lot of unemployed pilots.
This is a disgusting salary and the fact that they had the audacity
to put it for all to see. Well Mr Rishworth or Mr Priest, the worm
will turn as it always does in Aviation, and us unemployed pilots
will remember those Agencies that considered our plight, and
tried to take care of us in our hour of need. We will go to the professionals such as PARC and whoever else may be around. May you be ashamed of yourselves.
