I understand the whole supply and demand but to ask for all of that and expect them to be dedicated!
An employer has every right to expect an employee to be dedicated. An employee who isn't fully prepared to provide a 100% effort isn't much of an employee, or a professional, at all.
Gotta laugh at that, isn't there just a bunch of guys jumping ship all the time for the next greener pasture?
Sure. There are plenty of good-for-nothing, sniveling, worthless, dishonorable, lying, cheating, foolhardy pilots out there who will jump ship at a moment's notice. Never mind that the employer is putting the bread on their table. An employee who takes a job should have the respect an honor to do the job as agreed, rather than leaving the employer high and dry at the first chance of a shekel or two more.
It's because of pilots like this, pilots who take and run, that the industry does see less pilots getting trained, and that contracts, with-holdings, and charges for training take place. I've seen numerous pilots take a type rating and run...I've seen pilots get the type rating then sell themselves out the door of FSI or Simuflite, without ever returning home to give a day's service. Dirtbags like that are a dime a dozen, and you'll find many dozen nearly everywhere you look. With 95% of the pilot population not worth it's weight in wet salt, it's no wonder.
The ones who do have the honor and the responsibility to uphold an obligation, to stick with an employer and not leave one spinning in the wind, tend to build solid reputations that serve them well in the long run.
This seems like a foreign concept to you.
What is the deal with all of these places that want you to be type rated with time in type, 12 months experience, current 135 check then they put in the ad that they want a dedicated, professional pilot that will bend over backwards for the company!
How dare an operator ask for an experienced pilot, you ask? You can ask this with a straight face, then?
How dare an employer look for a current and qualified pilot, you ask? You really need to ask why an employer would like to see a current and qualified pilot?
How dare an employer look for a dedicated professional, you cry? Really?
Given your hubris, one might expect that employers should go out of their way to find unqualified, inexperienced pilots who declare up front that they would rather gargle rat poison than give any more than they absolutely must. Would you find that refreshing, instead?
"
Wanted, inexperienced pilot with no time in type to work as little as possible, take as much as able, and give back nothing in return. Individuals with type ratings or current experience need not apply."
Happy?
