The fist two levels of flying are the price of admission to this career. Southern/Mokulele are definitely Second Level.
First Level = You pay to fly
Second Level = You fly for free
Third Level = You get paid to fly
Fourth Level = You get paid
not to fly

The excuse “your job has better room for advancement than mine so you should be paid less to start” doesn’t work for me. No, I should be paid more than the burger flipper/chicken fryer to start.
“ Second Level = You fly for free”. Nope. Maybe in years past that was acceptable, not today. This is not an internship in some cubicle farm.

You have every right to your opinions and paths you choose, as do I. You are welcome to disagree with myself and others on here. I am only trying to advocate for those who have already invested much time & money just to earn poverty wages. It’s time to break this nonsense when there is talk of a mandatory minimum federal $15/hr minimum wage. Which would immediately depreciate the value of a newly minted CPL.
