"Flying is a pleasure not a job." Are you effing serious?
So, like, it's ok to do it for free? To undercut men & women with mouths to feed and bills to pay? It's like GOLFING?
I know, I know, you have no idea what you're talking about b/c you're new to airline flying in the US. But the mindset you are expressing is EXACTLY why regionals are still taking concessions (and operating under 2010 bankruptcy payscales at Mesa), even whilst our legacy partners are making record profits (and rewarding their crews financially in turn).
Go to EagleJet in Florida--get out your checkbook--they'll find you a big shiny plane to go fly around for $20-30K USD--it's such a pleasure doing it, after all!!!
