I love how some guys get out of flight school with 250 hours of flight time and figure they are owed a Jet Seat that pays 45K with 22 days off. What happend to just being glad you didn't have to sit in a 152 for 13 bucks an hour hoping the little bastard in the left seat wasn't going to try and kill you, again.

Don't get me wrong first officer pay is a joke, $20 bucks an hour sounds good to the outsider until he finds out its only with 9.50 in the real world. We should all be fighting for a minimum of $30/yr straight across the board. 1st year anywhere.
The right seat of a 152 is $13 an hour? Wasn't long ago when it was $8.
