How can you blame someone for doing all they can to get a job when they've spent between £50-£110K on getting their licence?
The 250hr pilot who sits there waiting for the ethically perfect contract to arrive with good T&Cs and fair pay is going to do just that, sit there and wait, and wait, and wait. Every other wannabe will push him out the way and take whats on offer. Its humans doing what comes naturally. We're not standing in a queue at the bank here, or letting a pregnant woman sit down on the tube - we're looking for our first jobs in a tough climate. One which plays into the hands of the likes of CTC/Ryanair/easyJet.
Like it or not, you can't blame low hour wannabe pilots for flexicrew.
