30 From Bottom,
I'm not saying that just because those before had that pay rate, that everyone following should also have to endure it. We all know that the first year pay should have been changed years ago, and housing as well as per diem should be paid from the first day of work until released to the line. What I was saying is that whatever the initial price of getting the job, and that includes through the end of first year pay, is nothing more than a cost of doing business and an investment in someone's future.
