Hi Chimbu Warrier.... you could be right here, but I suppose in the
good days there was a need for all these Agencies. But I know
that Rishworth really don`t give a stuff for the pilots as long as
they get the contract. Going back to this MD83 job advertised.
Do you know why they split the Per Diems and the Gross Pay ??
Well they will have an Invoice rate for 80 hours including the Per
Diems. Therefore if the pilot works 90 hours Bingo the pilot only gets overtime paid on the Gross, but Rishworth will get it on the
total Invoice rate. So they are doubly screwing the pilot........
But they are not all bad, I know that PARC won`t take this nonsense, thats why you don`t see to many jobs on their websites. I was recently offered a position from another agency
in the UK. Contractair, nice lady, she came back to me a few days
later to say that she wouldn`t sign the contract with the Airline as
it was an insult as to what they wanted to pay the pilot. She
even had the decency to tell me who the Agency was who had
undercut her, so that I could approach them if I really needed the
job. I appreciated that. That was honest stuff, but us guys will
remember those that looked after us or tried to do their best for
us when times were hard.
We should blacklist some of these guys......... I know who I would
work for in the future and I know who I will politely tell to get
Stuffed...........
Anyone brave enough to start !!!!
