African Contract
Until we as pilots respect ourselves and our skills and qualifications, we'll continue to get screwed by people are far less capable, far less skilled, and are usually in airline management because they couldn't get a job anywhere else. These people do not have the capacity to consider the long term damage they have done to our industry, and the damage they have done to future pilots carrers. As the career stands, I would sooner have my kids on the dole than to be used an abused as an airline pilot.
Heres a hint!
You go to the interview and tell them that training will be paid for, salary will be 25K USD a month, plus housing, plus schooling and medical ext . First class tickets for all travel.
Even that wouldn’t be on par with what we as professional pilots got 20 years ago.
Further go and ask some of the hippies working for the squillion NGOs, UN , government charities ext what benefits they're getting being base in Addis and you’ll realise how idiotic we as pilots are for even considering such offers. Or any other professional expat for that matter...ship captains....oil and gas engineers..and and so....what we as airline pilots get paid is a joke.
Its about time we stood up and demand what we deserve....but sadly many of our weak will put colleagues up with such crap.
