However, this interview:

https://www.aerotime.aero/clement.ch...-pilots-career

is enough to make me say forget this Piece of garbage and his company. He readily admits that pilot pay has plummeted and responsibilities have increased, yet in the same breath blames senior pilots for not encouraging the younger generation to fly and blames them for the shortage. YHGTBFSM.
Not once does he address that compensation needs to be increased, only that schedule flexibility needs to be improved and ab initio programs are the answer. Get out of here. Can’t wait for it to fail.
My cousin is a mortgage broker in the Ft. Lauderdale area. He called me one day and said “I thought you guys made more money, I just did a mortgage for a 787 pilot and he didn’t even crack $100K last year.” I asked who the guy worked for. He said OSM?? I hadn’t heard of them so I did a little research and discovered these guys.

There will always be pilots willing to undercut everyone else for a shortcut. It’s sad but true.
