I got hired here in my 30s and made 35k first year. Now, it's hired in your mid-late 20's making 1/4 mil or upgrade in your early 30s. I feel like people's expectations have been skewed of what is/isn't normal for this career.
I'm not trying to downplay others experiences but the complaining that goes on is just sad to see.
Inflation. Airline pilots made more in the 70s and 80s then they do today inflation adjusted.
