No. That is a direct quote from me. I made it up. I never heard the Chief Pilot say any thing like that, but it doesn’t matter who said it, because it is true.

Interviewees are fully informed of the pay plan. It should be no surprise. For those than think it is inadequate, they will need to look elsewhere. I never could understand how someone could accept a job, knowing the pay & later then complain about the pay.

Do you enjoy arguing? Perhaps you find that posting on these forums is a form of entertainment? I have better things to do than respond to a diatribe.

The purpose of this forum is HIRING NEWS. Posts not on that topic are irrelevant. There are pilots looking for work who have different needs that no one knows about. They are looking for information on who is hiring. If a certain company meets that need, then they have the option to accept that job for the agreed amount. My motive was to answer a simple question about 1st year pay, not to defend the pay scale.
