BigNumber,

Once again I ask you to name 4 other professions
where people pay to work, I hope the tax authorities
In the countries within which the P2F schemes operate
are aware that Employers are not paying taxes for
these Employees. Sorry Volunteers.

Why the heck are all the P2F guys bothering with
expensive commercial licences when they are basically
paying for a series of trial lessons.

Come to think of it the Airlines are missing out on a
trick there, if all their employees paid to work, then
all airlines would be profitable.

You go to work and get paid for that work, no if's no
buts that is how it must be, if your F/O is
A profit centre then you don't have a viable business
and it's time the Civil Aviation Authorities of all countries
Involved suspend/revoke the AOC of anyone who operates
with P2F crew.

Will it ever happen No, will it continue Yes
even men/women/children who were part of the slavery
trade were paid in shelter and food.

Be careful what you wish for it might just come true.
