I left flight instructing because my crappy sub contracting whipsaw/scab/evil/scum of the industry airline was going to give me a better pay check so that i could possibly pay off my debt from getting into this industry to start. I wish the regionals didnt exist. It would be nice to work for a usair or an american or delta, but they arent hiring and even when they were who has 1000 pic turbine with out going to a regional? Yeah there's part 135 but why should anyone have waited till they had part 135 time when they could go and fly one of these little jets that mainline didnt want and get a steady pay check? We are not working at these places to steal some one else's job, we are working here cause we need a job. No one I went to school with spent the money we spent to be airport bums washing airplanes trying to get an hour here or an hour there for years before we have enough time to sit right seat in a charter operation. We are just trying to live our own lives.
You can make as much delivering Pizza and you know it. So, the arguement that you need the money is B.S. You want to fly an airplane, and are willing to accept crap money to do it. Don't be ashamed of it, just about everybody else is doing the same thign too... that's why managements can do what they are doing to Midwest with RAH.
If you can't admit that, then you've got blinders on
