That's some reasonable thinking James. Just because you're talking about it doesn't mean you're complaining and niether was I.

I was talking to one of my buddies from the old job and he was telling me about his daughter who just graduated from college and had a job offer that paid 55K to start. Now, if every airline in the industry were hiring right now, where could we get jobs that start at 55k? Even with all our training and experience there are maybe two places that start that high. Just seems sad to me.
