Trouble is to be effective & not working for free you need unity, total unity (something we will never see in this country anymore) & where flying newbies are concerned it's back to basic animal instincts, survival of the fittest. It's the same in all walks of life, humans have been crawling over themselves to get ahead since the microbe stage & will continue to do so for all time.
From the morons that race ahead in their cars & takes risks to do so just to get one cars length ahead of the traffic shows that it's wired into our makeup to 'beat' the competition & there's nufin' you can do about that for most.
The whole gambit of not paying for a job (which we all have since we started flying & paying for it at day one btw) & flying for free means the flying landscape has changed, no longer has this industry at that basic level got a long term future & notions of flourishing is short lived, it's all but dead........welcome to the new world so adapt or get left behind & that my fellow aviators is just the way it is.
