I won't have to tell them that, I hope that the lack of applicants will speak for themselves. Supply and demand; very simple concept.

Unfortunately, there will still be a certain amount of folks who, like you said, are willing to "fly for peanuts." After all, they get the privilege of flying super-kool airplanes like the brand new MRJ!!!

In any career, you do have to "work your way up." But even considering that, pay is horrifically low.
