Knapper and Cambioso, I totally disagree with you. The owner just paid double for his new toy, why shouldn't he pay market rates for his crew.
Why are so many here so desperate to discount their experience? Why do I get CV's of guys offering to fly for free?
Why do we tolerate, accept and here promote it.
Look what it did to the loco market for crew, so many accepted lousy wages and now you can't get a decent paying job in the locos.
Stop selling yourself short, why should the OP accept a lousy deal? To be nice to the owner? Not to be greedy?
Do you think the owner is going to treat the mx company, hangar owner, fuel company the same way? Of course not.
Why do you guys expect us pilots to discount our services.
What is your agenda here knapper and Cambioso? You guys operators? Management? You surely aren't professional pilots, they wouldn't volunteer a pay cut.
