Please, every time you hear this brought up, remind whoever is offering it that the majors are retiring the deep end of their pool.
I agree...this is complete BS. The fact is major airline pilots are underpaid as well. Regional pilots are just obscenely underpaid.
Pay for the professional on average has been decreasing over the decades. Most pilots just don't understand why because they get caught up in the blame game that is spoon fed to us.
As those at the "deep end" are retiring, they are being replaced at the shallow end end is getting more and more shallow every year. This is the system we have in place and it's designed very specifically to reduce labor costs over time.
