I completely agree. The problem is the obsurdly high pay at the top of the pay scale (300k +) encourages people to put up with the obsurdly low pay at the bottom of the pay scale (40-60k).
As a major airline pilot, I would gladly see our pay top out near 250k if it meant more reasonable wages at the regionals (everyone starting at 60-70k)
