Here here!!! Your value is what you define it as! This profession is in the toilet and it doesn't have to be. People who liken flying an airliner to playing a video game or driving a bus do not have a grasp on reality. Do not fall into the self fulfilling prophecy that you are worth $20,000. We need to make this a respectable well compensated profession again!!
You are not a bus driver! We can do better!
This is a real job!! It should be a real career!! Let our compensation be commensurate with our responsibilities!!
What we need is a regional pilots union, with regional pilots interests in mind... Then we need the regionals to go away.
