Check 6--Buon capodanno amico.
I agree, in the example you mentioned the non-profit organization was indeed very generous with the free lunches, etc.
I just don't want young pilots getting the idea that it's *normal* or *de rigueur* to volunteer their time in order to build hours.
Most airlines, especially the bottom-feeders, would just giggle themselves to sleep everynight to have pilots volunteer their time.
My only point is that a true professional has made an investment in his training and so his time becomes a valuable commodity. Every professional deserves to be compensated for his valuable time.
That's my only point.
Pilots volunteering their free time is a separate subject, I agree. Perhaps I over-reacted.
Mi dispiace. Nonostante possiamo essere amici?
