This has always been the problem. But when we are pilots looking to get in somewhere what are we to do? Not accept any of these jobs until the rates go up? We are are own worst enemy. We want to do this so bad we'll do it for almost nothing and some of us really do do it for nothing. Bottom line is there will always be someone out there who will do it for less to be able to 'break in' and that will always hold us back as a group.

Here at SkyWest it seems that we can't fill EMB120 classes so a pay raise may be coming shortly. Just as you said, ''Supply and Demand.''
