Ron,
I couldn't agree with you more!
Unfortunately, folks like this WILL ALWAYS find a pilot accepting their terms.
As for myself, I have a CL300 rating and without a fix job for some considerable time, and I know of another 9 (good) captains on CL300 looking for work. And that is only here in Europe! Having said that, I would negotiate with them for a regular CL300 rate of, say, 900-1000USD/day, but I know that they will find a colleague accepting their silly terms. So the other guy goes flying and my fridge is still empty...
