Pilots out there are a frustrated lot, with global aviation still being bleak, there are pilots who will do anything to keep flying, keep the hours up and licences current, that means they will take rock bottom wages. This is how management of airlines treat crew. The net is full of sob stories ..BA, Qantas, Ryanair, American Airlines ...etc etc ...Aviation is a rude business. And Naikuni is just getting started. You can take that to the bank. I think everybody is frustrated and not just the pilots.They've used to smooth sailing but what they might be beginning to experience ain't something new to the other careers. KQ has been training its pilots,sending them to SA, Ethiopia and UK for training,all expenses footed by the airline. Aren't such pilots safe from the axe? KQ ain't the gov't, just to be employing people without considering their economic value. If one can be retrenched, they are not that worth to the entity. The rude side of capitalism. @ mkeiyd - KQ used to pay 100% but nowadays u get the pilots repay back their training cost fully. Eagles don't flock, you have to find them one at a time.
