My mentioning the issue of hand writing the answers was merely to point out that T.C. has made passing the exams easier.Nothing to write home about.
Which helps contribute to the imbalance of jobs to licensed pilots thus low wages.

WOW Constellation youre lucky mate.. i cant say i go back that much but I managed to use the loran C, bottom line guys "What you sow you reap" as long as we have guys begging for jobs they can make whatever they want with us and sooner or later they will ask the toilets to be cleaned, for God sake they have more people on their waiting list then IKEA store opening.C.W.E. wrote: ↑Thu Oct 25, 2018 4:27 pm When I wrote the exams for the ATPL the answers were all hand written and were marked based on what you actually knew as shown in your hand written answers, in today's world you have the multiple choice crutch to help you.
Here is the airplane that was used in the exam.

In fact in does matter as these long cleaning hours spent by the crews are taken away from flight preparation so its a bloody safety issue, its a latent threat that is yet to say its name.

Get that 703 mentality or whatever PTSD you may be experiencing due to your previous abuse as a small time pilot and get in line with the rest of the world. Spare me the "What about paying for a type rating?" argument. No real airline (Lufthansa, KLM, BA, SAS, Swiss) will ask you to pay for the type rating.
PILOTS SHOULD NOT CLEAN PLANES, EXCEPT THE AREA WHERE THEY WORKED.... (Your cockpit seat)
Bingo. I have way more important things to do from a safety and efficiency perspective. Pilots have or should have lots going on in their minds, and this is a distraction. They can find someone to do it at a fraction of my pay.Anticyclone wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 7:38 am

I flew airplanes to earn a living and as my experience progressed so did my pay scale go up.You are being made to do that job by someone who stands to gain from your understanding that they don't think you're all that important. Ask yourself why. It's because they want you to believe it. It makes it easier for them to pay you less. I bet not even . would be willing to stand for that.

At the end of my career all my clients came from referral by other clients.
When I accepted a new client the process started with them depositing ten thousand U.S.D. in my bank to cover initial expenses and my hourly, daily or monthly charges were never ever an issue.
The best paying and best working conditions was flying for the movie and TV industries, the worse flying job was the air show circuit even though it paid well.
Good point. If the employer values status and image towards pax, enforced by uniform policies including white shirts and ties, it's hard to understand they expect you to clean the plane in your undoubtedly meticulously groomed uniformed.
