I agree with USMC my understanding of the problem with this industry is people that value the time they log as compensation hence don't really care what they get paid. Or think that this job is so fun they will do it for 18k a year...
I am not saying this at all....Ie. if I value my time at x/day, which is within or above industry standards who cares whether I talk on the radio and raise the gear handle? If you want to pay me to sit there to keep the aircraft in CG I don't care as long as I get paid X.
I was just responding to Walker's comment. Some of us don't care about logging time its about making some extra cash.
Personally this situation does not apply to me as I fly for an individual I am paid salary. But I don't see anything wrong with someone doing this.
