Suddenly finds himself in the right seat of a multi million dollar airliner and a freshly printed type rating, and has the audacity to complain that his pay is low for the first year. Talk about an unappreciative ungrateful brat.
Should the regionals provide new hires with the penthouse suite in the Four Seasons during training too? Maybe the recruiting team should come to your house and interview when its convenient for you.
So said person completes training and is on the line and successful and you have the audacity to call him/her an ungrateful brat because they dislike the fact that they are making less than the fry cook at a fast food restaurant? Your arugments are ridiculous nobody wants a penthouse suite in training (although it be nice) people are only asking for a "respectable" wage for the work they do. I guess that's asking for the world in your eyes though and they should just be grateful that they lucked out in getting to fly this magical RJ with it's powerful turbine engines, break through technological navigation equipment, and magical autopilots. GMAB either you epically trolled me or well you just need some misery company about starting over at a new airline.
