I gotta tell you I read the same complaints over and over and the end result is ultimately going to be this is the aircraft, and this is what it pays. If you're stuck as a new hire at ABC airways earning $21/hr so be it, that's the contract and you agreed to it. Most of us work two jobs in order to make the numbers work on a monthly basis, you're only working 18-19 days, giving you time to do so.

Everyone seems to forget that these airlines are publicly traded companies, and have an obligation to the stockholder to show quarterly profits, and pay the flight crew members peanuts, endlessly forgetting that it is the skill and competence of these crew members
that moves this equipment safely and efficiently. Sure a wide body Cpt. should make $200/hr, and the cabin crew should make $45, but the problem is you're getting paid what we were 17 years ago, and that is so not right, I wish I new the answer.
