I don't know, in 1983 I made 600/mo doing Grand Canyon tours in Cessna 172's, six days a week, and had to wear these silly white gas station attendent shirts. Plus, I had to clean the bathrooms and gas planes. Since I upgraded at UPS, in 2006, I've made 230K and will make 300K in five years.
Just keeping it real.
The career hasn't been bad for everybody.....
That's why I provided a ref for my claim of "decline since 1978"

1978 wide body pay was 175K
2006 constant cpi adjust was 541K

541K (2006) vs your 230K (2006) = 57% pay cut for wide body from 1978.
Like I said, take the reward today and cut it in half. If you are a young person starting out that's what you can expect. Our friend de727ups has just made my point.
Thank you, de727ups
