And for what reason, to force your company to pay you more??

A lot of people ask pilots why they don't leave and look for other types of careers if the pay is so bad. Do you know what the most common response is? "Beats working in a cubicle" or, "I just love to fly". As long as that attitude exists in the industry do not expect wages to come up any time soon.

For every one person who leaves the industry due to low wages, I'm willing to bet there are at least 100 who will gladly take his/her place for the same or lower wages.
