CBIRE880,

Now you're talking. I find you're reasoning on this last thread very mature and worthy of discussion; I am not saying that you are not mature!!!

That is the reasonn why I left instructing, simply because I was getting crap of pay and wasting my energy to people who thought that I had to do the learning for them.

I would too, do it in a heartbeat would I have a 172 job that pays me decent wages then being junior manned while getting a pay equivalent to assistant manager at a gas station, maybe!

Another thing, remember that these regionals they also want to survive in the industry as well. If they were to pay you and I 30 or 35 bucks an hour surely it would help some of us, but in the process this could take these guys out of business in the long run. I am not advocating lower wages, but hoping that we can be reasonable and yet assertive for what we want as pay.

I am not afraid of age 65 even if it slows the attrition. Not everyone wants to fly past 60! Be assured that there will always be something out there for us.
