Your comment is ridiculous. The "well I did it and survived, so suck it up" mentality is exactly why pilots are never going to figure this out. You're telling me that a Captain with 3000 hours deserves 3-4 TIMES the pay as a FO with 2000 hours?
This isn't about liberalism or Obama. This is about paying the people with similar qualifications fair wages. I'm guessing you'd also be for keeping the FO pay the same and taking 20% pay raises. Team #1, right? The rest of you can eat once a day.
