I have been saying the same as Sully here for almost four years now and all I get is flack. Pilots need to make more than a mailman and need more time off than they are currently getting.

Flying demands a lot from those who do it professionally. It takes a huge investment and massive sacrifice from the entire family. 60K and no benefits is not worth the effort.

Nothing will change though.
