Ha ha ha,
Actually, hang on, I suppose that means in a way I am just as sad as any of the fools on Pop Idol, oh no, oh god no....
What have I become?
It is such a an obscene industry this flying biz, with so many hidden costs, not helped by all the clueless Walter mitty's who"Dream of flying" who have played flight sim once to many times, and are willing to work for next to nothing,
take huge loans out,
pay for all of the ratings, pay for there uniforms and pay for all of there essential equipment, that really should be provided if its is essential in the course of work duty,
also work unreasonable hours for no extra pay, if they get work.
I can think of no other industry were this is the norm, in fact I am sure there has got to be some law somewhere against this carry on in any industry.
We are being screwed folks, Screwed left right and center, and we are being screwed because employers know that there is always somebody willing to work for less and pay for everything.
Will it ever change?
