First Officer for Sale on Ebay (for free!!)
I'm all for people using their noggins to better their career prospects, but this has surely gone too far!
This guy is offering his services for free
.........
I sympathise - been made redundant twice before, horrible place to be, but prostituting yourself is not only degeading, but gives our Airlines even more leverage to chip away at our already ever decreasing T&C's.
Mate, whoever you are, get it off ebay and good luck with the continued search for a job.

Surely, please God, this has to be a joke.
However I did train with someone who placed an advert in the back of Flight International a few years back. He was willing to work for free. Was told he got nothing from it, did an SSTR and still found no work. I believe he is still jobless. It's a funny old thing that I have little sympathy for him.
Usual story, had far too much of Daddy's money, not enough brains and a personality which sorely lacked any subsidance. Maybe he is related to this **** on ebay?

Perhaps the chap in question is actually applying some well deserved sarcasm?
This ebay entry is certainly 'news worthy' and might raise the publics awareness of the 'pay to fly' rot that destroys peoples jobs.
ATP Schemes and the like have become the established norms, and I don't know how to get them back in their box. Lid welded shut!
Equally, until these schemes are scrubbed the low hour folks have very few obvious choices. These schemes are 'percieved' the established ( if not proven ) way to the flight deck door.
Perhaps in the public 'spotlight' this culture of 'pay to fly', pay for your rating and work for free, etc will be shamed into submission.

Is he selling his arse as well? - got to be careful, binding contracts etc.
Maybe some fat hairy Russian from Siberia who hasn't had any for ages will win har har!
