Glad someone else gets it. I'm not saying I want pull up the proverbial ladder, but I sure as hell don't want to be making less than the pilots under me on the seniority list. And yes that does happen. It is simple supply and demand economics. This place is a glorified regional, and when the classes start drying up the money will come out.
You don't have to like it, but it is the truth. You've got to look out for number one because these companies don't give a rat's arse about you.
