This article, along with every other article that I've read in the last week on this subject omit a major point.
$21/hr sounds like a livable entry-level wage...except that it only will get you a 70-hour guarantee, and legally not more than 120 hours a month. The likes of pinacle management can say..."see, we pay our pilots $21 dollars an hour. That is average compensation."
Every pilot knows the truth.
