It's easy to say that someone shouldn't take a job for mediocre pay when you already have a job flying. When trying to build time, what's a person to do? It doesn't matter where you look in the industry (cargo, pax) all the starting jobs are low pay. So should pilots as a whole not ever take intro-level jobs due to low pay? Everyone here knows that's unrealistic. This is our career choice... we're not going to not take a job. Does the system need fixed? Sure it does. Pay needs to increase at the entry level. How is that accomplished? I don't know. But saying that folks shouldn't take low-level pay, entry-level jobs, is NOT the answer. This is a messed up industry, to say the least!
