I mean FFS, it's not out in GA scratching around the circuit in a 152, or dropping meat bombers, or bank runs, or night freight. Regional flying (especially in the US) is not a F#cking kindergarten!
Many American pilots have woken up, that's why they are casting the net wider. But as long as there are proponents of these scams (Like some of you lot) nothing will change.
Instead of crtisizing, please give us your pearls of wisdom on how else to make it in this career.
8 years in GA, flying in absolute 3rd world **** holes for low pay and I am no closer to being able to break into an airline job.
This US gig is a good chance for many to build the time required to leap over to the Middle East or Asia.
But if you have better ideas, please let me know. I will be waiting with eager anticipation.
