No pay during ground school is bad enough bullet to bite. Reduced pay during training is also a hard nutto bite. However, the very thought ofstepping into a cockpit, operating even one revenue flight, with no pay,without question, sets bad example for those looking for a cockpit job. Working for free is next second in line topadding the log book to get that flying job. It undermines those attempting to raise the bar and restore the respectfor fellow members of in industry.
Help me out here folks… because I’m just not getting it. Is operating a revenue flight withoutVcompensation acceptable? What are thejustifications? Are there any justificatins? What’s next??? pay-to-play? Oh wait… there’s Lion Air in Indonesia for that game. And that’s an entirely different and non-the less a very sore subject and bone of contention for another thread.
There are better places to work for free and for a much worthy cause, ratherthan aiding the funding of other’s pockets. Not ready to hang up the goggles and want to fly without compensation? Try a worthy endeavor, such as missionary flying. Far more self-rewarding and self-respectablethan the likes of Ethiopian.
