This bottom feeder, sub par mentality will continue for as long as you let it. You are worth more than you are being paid.
Stop settling for third best.
I'll have to agree. There is better and more accurate terminology such as contract airline or teaching airline (similar to a teaching hospital).
As far as being paid what you are worth, that can't happen because pilots do not believe that. Most don't think for a second they could be stuck where they are at.
