G'day all,
I have to concur on the relevance of the "Supply & Demand" issue here. But Correct me if I'm wrong lads........by my reckoning, if there were more paid work about for pilots we would improve this aspect of things at least for the pilots!
So, on that note, can anyone explain why PJE ops are categorized as PVT/AWK when the customers/jumpers have just forked hard-earned cabbage leaves to ride in & then jump out of an aircraft which can be poled about by a PPL holder???
Yet at the very same dropzone the turbine drivers are getting paid while they too don't always hold a CPL. It would seem that the level playing field concept went out the window as the Wright Bros. landed??
While I'm not sure that glider ops get the same concessions, I am sure that more commercial ops would undoubtably mean more work for those with fresh ink on thier CPL's.
It all remind me of an saying of mine....."Another day, another 50 cents!!!"

You're not a "Pesso" mate, by virtue of the very fact that you got into aviation you're an Optimist!! Good luck.
