Instead of paying 20K to fly a Shorts, go to ACC...THEY PAY YOU 25K, and you get benefits. How can some companies compete when other companies have pilots paying them large amounts of money? No wonder why we get paid what we do. "Your cargo will be there by tomorrow, the price is free today, our new FO agreed to pay for it; I hope you choose us again, thank you."
I wonder who will start the first cargo company to have all pilots, captains and FOs, pay them. You know they would have hundreds of applications.
