new hires to the industry don’t know what they’re worth. It’s like how military guys don’t know what scope is.

when people get fed up they leave with a type rating and get replaced by a cfi and the circle continues.

in my view things will get better when people realize they can’t go anywhere else, or when they can’t hire enough. Neither problem is a problem right now.
