Agreed Al, but a big problem in the industry is our love for flying. Because we all love it and want that big airline job so bad, we will do anything to get it, even if that means work for a wage that even Mcdonalds workers would question.

I do now see the attraction, a fast track to the airlines is nice, but in doing so they are selling their skills short, we are pilots we either just paid 100k+ for our education or spent 10+ years in the service of our country! Lawyers don't sell themselves short to land the big law firm job.

This started say 10 to 20 years ago, when pilots began accepting slightly lower wages, then we kept accepting lower and lower and lower because of that promise of a jet job. In another 10 to 20 years we will have to work pro bono to get a start!
