I don't think there is a good way to put entire compensation into one, easy-to-swallow pill for those un-informed.
Congratulations, you still make 19 per hour and as much as a elementary school busdriver that took a 2 week course on driving a bus. Point is that we should be raising our pay. 1st year pay at a regional should be at least 40 and captain 80. It's still hard for people to comprehend when I tell them that airline pilots make equivalent to minimum wage starting out.
