There are a lot of posts where the poster "talks" out of both sides of their mouth....my head hurts. I also don’t know of a single person here who is “lucky” to be an American or a pilot for that matter. At some point our ancestors paid the price for us to be called American’s and last I checked you have to earn your “right” to fly an aircraft. Luck isn’t a factor in any of this.

I would like to say that, I personally don't really care what a/the CEO is making. I only hope that their salary is commensurate to their performance. Supply and demand. Just like ticket prices are very low because there are a lot of seats and aircraft to fill, there are a lot of pilots in the system to employ. Should there be a decrease in ascensions entering the pilot workforce pilot pay would increase. As long as there are people willing to spend the money and time to earn their certifications and fill those entry level job openings pay will NEVER increase. Lastly, companies aren’t in business for the purpose of employing people…..

All of the aforementioned is just my opinion, which isn’t worth a damn thing…..
