I will be the 1st to agree that we are world's better than the slaves in the Blue uniforms. But when you compare our industry and what we do compared to what other airlines do we are the personification of slave labour for international pilots. Factored Flight time, only paid for scheduled flights, 90 plus hard flying hours, checking in an hour before the flight but showing up almost two hours before the flight and on and on.
We all know most of you LCC and ****e British Charter pilots did all that back home but the good international airlines don't do that including Delta I am sure.
I have a life Next, I know what is out there. Don't bury your head in the sand and think you have it good for an international pilot.
Who has been laid off 3 times and what is a CEO suppose to do if they have too many pilots or employees?
