However, your point is valid. The payoff for all the work is a LONG way down the road for pilots these days (if it comes at all) when compared to an engineering or tech degree.
It is already hard to fill classes at the regionals, I think it's just going to get harder. (Phrasing!)
I was trying to keep it simple.
Really my point is, if you can live off of $25/day for the next 5-6 years then this is the job for you.
Otherwise, maybe getting into a profession that had a better ROI is the better choice.
These figures are startling nevertheless.
We have no pilots in the pipeline. Why take concessions?
