The wife of a professional pilot shouldn’t have to go bag groceries for a year because an $85B company doesn’t want to pay their new hires a wage consummate with their experience.
I don’t have a dog in this fight, I already fly for the other box hauler, but I’m just tired of listening to people justify crappy first year wages in this industry just because that’s how it’s always been done. Not paying for lodging during NH training is another embarrassment. My place is guilty of that one too.
