My 2 observations. 1 - No one is forced into the aviation career field. 2 - Companies won't give their employees more money than they have to out of the goodness of their heart, unless that is the business of the company (i.e. Goodwill, etc).
Yes and said management is part of the same management that outlines the working conditions of the flight crews...so much for quality. Im not ignorant, Im well aware of supply and demand and that doing this job is a choice. Renslow and Shaw made mistakes and paid with their lives. They have also been dragged through the mud in the media. Colgan and the FAA are also at least partly responsible because they also made a choice to put a very low price on some things that contribute to the safety of their passengers, flight crew and airplanes.
