Completely agree. The problem is that there are people willing to go fly 757's for 85k a year from the left seat and then complain that the airlines want more TAFB and offer less in wages. Maybe if people didn't take those jobs they would be forced to pay more. It's a strange concept but if people continue to take those jobs, then that trend will continue.Originally Posted by SkyHigh
It seems to me that in the past flying was a means to an end. Now it must encompass the main focus of your life to remain happily in the saddle. I was always about the stuff that happens between trips when you are at home. Every year it seems that the airlines want more TAFB and offer less in wages. I want a life more than a career.
