Couldn't have put it better myself!
Graduated in 2005.
Since then I was laid off, had to live and fly on regional's pay in third world country for 6 years, have Douglas, Airbus, Embraer and 747-400; -8F type ratings with thousands of hours and I still don't seem to get any offers that pay more than $4500/month gross, all the while being fed this "pilot shortage" verbal diarreia! It's like the ultimate form of verbal humiliation.
How can kit darby and his alikes (flight schools, regionals etc) be so out of touch with reality!?!
Are they really just gonna go on with this gibberish without ever being held accountable?
