You weren't. Lots of good points here, and for sure, things are looking great for PDT, which is awesome for you guys. You deserve it. I hope other companies follow suit soon, and all of us are making the money and having the decent contracts we all struggle so hard to achieve. I've sent a couple of guys your way lately, because of the great things PDT can offer them.

No other industry fails to reward experience like this one does. If you're a doctor or a lawyer with 10 years of experience, and move to a new job, your new starting salary is commensurate with your skills. Here, you start at the bottom, as if you had just graduated flight school yesterday. It's sad.
