I have seen low timers (like myself) get in trouble when they start complaining about the pay, and that fact that they have to sit reserve for three months. When most of the captains that we fly with had 700 hours they were still flying cargo or instructing, and glad to be building time. When we low timers complain about the fact that we're flying a 50 pax jet with for 20k a year it grates on them. They feel like we've overstepped the rite of passage of icing up over the great lakes and almost killing ourselves in the process. Truthfully the wages that we are paid are tough to live on, but I could still be a CFI racking up hours 90% slower than I am now.
