$40K doesn't pay the bills, I want the young ones to realize that. Unless you like living at home with the parents, or are independently wealthy. CBP for example pays $60K a year for a King Air pilot. I don't have a single thing against your operation, but the pay is not reasonable for a professional aviator.

Split your hourly wage any way you care, but these guys invested over $50K for the ratings. Starting pay for almost any college graduate far surpasses that.

Now on the issue of the underpaid majors/regionals - that doesn't make it right either.
