Uh no sorry. We are hiring anyone who is breathing and meets the mins. Now if you got hired back 10-15 years ago you'd be right. If you didn't actually HAVE a $200k/yr salary than you gave up nothing. You didn't give up anything and, if you're even a little bit smart and prepared, you likely knew what the first year pay here was and at just about every other carrier there's no way, zero chance, you would be progressing up the salary scale like you have here. So give it a rest about how valuable you think you are please.
