They exploit the desire of young pilots to build a career and try and get into the majors. These young pilots are vulnerable to such exploitation. What is required is regulation. The FAA should mandate that pilot's can only work a set number of hours before duty, regardless of where they are worked. So second jobs count.
Paying for "training" hours on revenue services should be illegal.
Commuting hours should not count as rest hours.
That will reduce the pool of available pilots and the wages will go up... REGULATION IS THE ANSWER.
