This is just how good it has gotten. In my day... yes I’m old and yes I said it. Regionals were charging $8000-$11000 for training and you took the first job offer for fear of never getting into the industry. This post would have been laughed off the internet 22 years ago. Well... if we had the internet. I think there may be some cave drawings of pilots being hurled into volcanoes for this kind of talk.
