Cashier. If you’re gonna pay peanuts then I want a job with very little responsibility.

If you were a cashier making $10 an hour and they said they wanted to promote you- so now you’re going to manage three franchises, but they still want to pay $10 an hour, would you accept? Of course not. Being a pilot is no different. If I’m gonna be out there making decisions that directly impact the safety of passengers then I’m going to be paid appropriately or I’m going to find something else to do.

Not to mention the time commitment. Spending half the month on the road needs to come with a return on investment. Otherwise it’s hard to justify why you’re living in crashpads alone eating junk-food while the cashier living next door to you is relaxing at home with his family eating a home cooked meal. Especially when your pay check is the same as his.

That doesn’t even take into consideration everything you invested into a college degree and ratings.

People on this forum talk about “scabs” like they’re the worst thing ever. I don’t know why people who sell the industry short would be treated any differently
