I said if you are telling people to go do something other than flying then why don't you lead by example. Also I have known since I was a freshman in High School that when you go to a commuter your pay is going to suck. I knew what i was getting myself into. I still know that my pay is going to suck. Would i like to make more money? yes i would but because people have been going to work for those wages for quite a while I don't see the airlines changing them. Also you could be a moral revolution and tell them to stick it when they offer you a job at 17K a year but they will just wave buh bye and pick the next one. I invite you to start that revolution and I will gladly follow once it starts. I would also like to ask you about your education? I personally have taken two languages, french and hebrew minored in econ and Poly sci. I have been involved in a program that has never glossed over the nasty details of this industry. even though the "Honeymoon" will eventually be over for us all there are those who will always still enjoy what they do and will make the best of it that they can. I am not going to go after you becasue I don't know anything about you. I have spent a lot of time commuting to and from SEA and ORD with commuting pilots and none of them have had an attitude like yours. Yeah they are sore that they don't make 50K a year and they are on reserve but not one person has ever told me that a college degree is worhtless. Do you have a degree? Also not one person has said to get out of aviation because he is a big shot and wants more money...If you really believe that you can get more money from your company by having us not work for them please go ask management and come back and tell us how it went.
