You're right. Folks should only take jobs flying big RJs and pretend to be Delta/American/United for a fraction of the compensation. All with the hope they'll get hired by one of those carriers one day. That must be the standards we are missing. Fly now, get paid later right?

But contrarily, you don't understand the subject matter. ULCCs don't flood the market with anything. At least not at the current size and structure. If you're premise is not based on facts then we can assume either you are ignorant or just trying to get a rise from some of us. Either way, it's not a very respectable position

Yeah, thats what I think. I'd rather see the growth in the high paying jobs at the legacies than LCC's and ULCC's putting cost pressures on the jobs that are actually desirable. I did the regional thing. It sucks but I think its short sighted to run off to an LCC for ****ty wages. When contact time comes around only willing to negotiate a rate that compares with other LCC's.

Standards are a great thing to have. I just think professional pilots doing what WE ALL do should set the bar higher. I don't think that settling for the LCC's is the right thing to do. I've read though some of the Spirit thread, nobody thinks they deserve the legacy wages, I don't see why not? Packed with reasons so settle.
