A better plan would be to have everyone know that they will make mailman wages up front. Then no one would be duped into getting into this profession unless they were able to accept the true pay that a pilot makes.

This is absolutely correct. The "pay your dues" mentality runs deep in the piloting profession. Problem is, many of us have been "paying our dues" for 20-plus years and still no payoff.
