Cambiosi, why should he have to "wind his neck in". that's what got the ryanair pilots such a crap deal right now, inexperienced kids wanting to fly for free.
Market rates are market rates.
If the OP starts discounting his own worth, we will all be worse of. Simple economics, there is no need to ask for less money, nobody else would, so why should he.
I don't think you realise how rare GLEX drivers in the EU are and if you do shame on you for your attempt in trying to dillute our T&C's.
May as well ask you, are you an operator that just sees pilots as a necessary expense and will do anything to ruin our T&C's or prospects????
