exactly "Matchpoint"!!

how much did a gate agent pay for his certificates? or how much did the Ramper?

It is very arrogant to try to compare pilots that have spent 50 to 100K+ getting to a 121 operation with rampers, gate agents, FA, etc.

One should be paid according to what one invested like in any other profession.

Rampers, FAs, gate agents do invest some in getting to their positions, maybe a litle bit of time and change but to compared them to pilots, give me a break...........

The difference in investment and time that it gets to achieve the different position is also why FAs, Rampers and gate agent cannot ask for more pay just because the pilots want more.

also, most FAs, rampers and gate agents would like to be pilots if they could do it. Let me know of any pilot that would like to be a FA, gate agent or ramper............

Stop taking down the Pilot profession and putting it together with all the lowest workers out there. We are together with them when it comes to pay but that is the problem that we have to do something about because we do not belong there.
