I apologized for saying the S word in a backhanded way, but I will agree directly that it isn't appropriate to this situation.

It's frustrating to those of us who have spent a lifetime in this industry, fighting to raise the standards, to see young pilots come along willing to do the job for less, without remorse. I just really don't have a good answer to that. Even when we saw "startups" like People Express, Kiwi, and Jet Blue, they offered industry standard pay, or other forms of compensation (stock) to woo pilots into taking a risk on a startup. Nowadays, it's pure SJS (Shiny Jet Syndrome for you youngsters who may have never heard the term). We can't compete with that. It dumbs down the entire industry.
But out of respect to you and Rick, I'll say no more on this topic.
