Shackone,

What I mean is that I wouldn't lay down the cash for initial training to be followed by several years of low paid humiliation. I have already incurred the expense of acquiring my licences and wasted a decade of my life in lower jobs gaining experience. I wouldn't consider myself to be starting over as a new hire at Alaska Airlines or UPS. Their lowly new hire pay rates are higher than what I averaged while climbing the ladder.
