We often hear about airline pilots wanting higher wages, but here’s a case where the airlines require the pilots to pay them for the privilege of flying their airplanes.
There is a growing trend in Europe that requires young pilots to pay an airline for flying its aircraft and passengers. The European Cockpit Association strongly denounces what they call an unacceptable practice used by airlines and intermediary agencies in Europe, and calls upon EU decision-makers to ban such “Pay-to-fly” schemes. As the pilots of Sun Country picketed Friday outside of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, the Southwest Airlines Pilots' Association announced support of the Sun Country Airlines pilots' efforts to obtain an improved contract. A man on a family vacation in Hawaii was pursued and tased by a park ranger at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on Saturday after flying a 3-inch micro quadcopter over the rising lava lake at Halema'uma'u Crater to capture some images. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
