Aren't we taking about highly skilled people here ??
I don't disagree with you, I also don't make 2500 a month. First year guys here are making that. First year guys who have 1500 hours giving lessons in a 172, is that highly skilled? Well if you've flown with a guy straight from a 172 into a jet then you can answer that. Do I believe in paying your dues the first year at an airline? No I don't but such is life even at the majors. A first year FO on a bus at mainline makes 36k That is an insult and at that point you are experienced, but that's the way it is. I don't believe that just because I had to pay my dues that someone else should have to. I also can't go back to 2500 a month or less because I tried my best to better the industry.
