Directbears:

I never viewed your comments as derogative or discouraging. In addition, I learned early on that this is a forum where ideas, beliefs, and experiences are shared. Also, never viewed our exchanges as a p!ssing match.


Couldn't agree with you more in terms of someone "taking the job" no matter what it pays. It does destroy what other before have worked so hard to put in place. On the other hand, although you have different starting salaries for different airlines and those starting salaries are based on criteria set by each airline, it is the same with starting salaries in the field of airport management. Salaries are based on what the Airport Board, Airport Authority or County Commissioners determine what it will be. I'm sure there are some ancillary economic factors thrown in but...I'm guessing.


I understand that you, SkyHigh, and others have had a not so favorable experience than others. I, for one, certainly appreciate the advise and the fact that you are sharing your experiences b/c when and if a situation arises, I can always think back to what exchanges took place on this forum and use that information to help out in my situation.
