Oh how employers must laugh when they see pilots on forums like this!
This whole situation is borne out minimum cost to the company and all the time they can get away with charging people for training they will.
For me, the main question is, are they employing the best available talent for their flight operation? And the answer has to be no. Because they have been excluding experienced guys in previous recruitment.
And now experienced guys are getting interviews, they are turning it down as the offer is derisory.
