Yes. Most pilots today don’t have the scholastic ability to earn the salaries of their professional peers (Doctors, development software engineers, etc). We don’t have to pretend, but we should continue to recognize the value of being in a unionized workforce. It is particularly valuable during a pilot surplus. It elevates us in a job that only requires OJT.

That said I have great pride in what we do and admire my peers, because it’s a job that requires higher integrity than some other high mental faculty careers (I.e. business sharks and lawyers that artfully bend the truth). Just my thoughts.

Pardon me while I laugh at how asinine you sound thinking that's reality.

Wow I can’t believe I have to sit down and explain.
Training being a joke is the fact that they are doing the bare minimum. They are looking for warm bodies to fly airplanes and not really caring about the quality of the aviator. Anyone can be trained? Sure ask how that worked out for Atlas.
You have to purposely do bad to fail here.
I also wouldn’t put it passed them pink slipping pilots in order to stop the bleeding.
Whatever it takes to move the metal, right?
Either way, I knew you wouldn’t last at AJT long. Most people barely fly the line and leave. Bravo to you and the many who see this place for what it really is.

I finally got online and my first paycheck came in at just under 8k, I flew a little extra for the month so I expect Ill pull in right around 16k. All in all its not a bad place, lots of great folks to fly with and if you are a self starter and can navigate your own way through training its a pretty good deal.
