The point of my post was that the way you framed the question, the top of your range was the average of others' rates. I'd say that's low based on the environment, success of the airline, fact that everyone of the airlines you are averaging are going to be higher shortly, oh and this pilot shortage I keep bearing about. You sound like one of those 'you work for a douchebag airline, you need to expect bottom rates' kind of guys.
Then why didn't you just say that in the first place? We know you have no problem stating your opinion. That's obvious.
You could have easily answered the question saying under these circumstances I'd like to see this much in pay. Instead you tell me my opinion is wrong. Sorry, but you are flat out wrong. In no way shape or form can someone's opinion be wrong. It's just that, their opinion. If you don't agree it's your responsibility to make a good argument with facts to try and get me to see things differently.....change my opinion.
Instead you took the high road and accused me of being one of "those guys." Until you actually make a legitimate argument stating real facts that's all you'll do on here is spout your opinion.
