Do you expect the same service from McDonald's as you would from a good steakhouse? All I am saying, is that with better pay you attract more professionals or at least you can pick your pilots out of larger pool and you are more likely to get more qualified candidates. Everyone expect pilots to be held up to the highest standard when it comes to experience, professionalism etc. ,except when it comes to pay. People defend outrageous CEO salaries because it keeps the best from leaving the company, yet this rule somehow does not work for pilots....
