Well said. These young guys come in wanting a silver spoon put in their mouth based on what was happening pre 911. The industry is going through a long long correction and the economics will dictate that pay must start going up across the board. I do this job because I love it and I hope to take home a pretyy good paycheck like the next guy. Remember though that in the 90's with all the strikes and contract negotiations, look what happened to US Air, which then became US Airways, and was then merged with America West. The $40/hr ramp workers eliminated, the $300,000 CA working a few days week gone, etc. Now we have the other extreme of rampees getting $10/hr and crew taking huge paycuts to get these companies back on track otherwise everyone's job would be gone and some low cost carrier would step in a gobble up the left overs! For those pilots who want the world on a platter right now, be careful of what you ask for, long term job security is more important than short term greed.
