I applaud the comments on Pilot conditions.
I really hope something positive happens out of all these posts. It may work out well for Operators as well as Pilots. Many good Operators are sick of losing work to quotes/bids where the Pilots work for peanuts.
However, No matter how strong the Union, or how strong the resolve to improve conditions - there will always be Pilots who will somehow undercut their colleagues.
The supply of Pilots is too high, and the dream too strong to believe otherwise. Union applications handed out with a licence will mean Jack S. for some CPLs who have a rich Daddy or has invested his/her own $$$ & has been out of work for a few months.
Am I wrong?.
Currently on this forum there are threads about 'Night ICUS for sale' & 'PPL Instructors' etc etc. But only one thread on Minimum wage.
A Pilot's Union, the Government, Uniform, Just & Strong Regulation can enforce an Award on Operators.
OK then, any suggestions on how (some) Pilots can be convinced to stop offering their services for less than they are worth??.
