You can say that again. Based on their rates, as a CFI, I was taking home more than a top of the scale FO at GIA.
I really don't get how those guys justify it to themselves. Why accept $X to be in the left seat at GIA, when you can have the same pay (if not more) in the right seat at a reputable airline with FAR less responsibility.
