Well said HJ,
I left my first job because the other pilot I worked with would offer to work for nix, and so was starting to get the majority of work. I raised the issue with my boss thinking maybe my performance was lacking. The situation was made clear and I chose to walk rather than lower myself to his standards and compete for hours. (Some of us actually like to eat and pay rent as mummy and daddy don't support us!).

I never regretted that decision and now earn the award. Its better to die on your feet than live on your knee's.For those of you that disagree ask your self this next time your flying. If an operator is to tight to pay the measley award to those that are entrusted to earn HIS/HER income,represent his or her company in the eye of the public and aviation community, what else will the b@rst@d scrimp on???
