You will never see enough pilots complain about low starting wages. Too many guys/gals enjoy what they are doing. Pilots are their own worse enemy. How does this group expect to get the public on its side when you have people complain and then half of the pilots call it, "paying your dues" or retort with some statement about how they manage to make 1st year pay work by manipulating the system... Joe public thinks it can't be all that bad being a pilot if people keep showing up for work<sarcasm>.
