Ladies and Gentlemen, I have said it before, if the flying public wants highly qualified pilots in the cockpit they are going to have to pay for it. 50000 a year at least to get me off the sidelines and fly for a regional, I have always wanted to fly for the airlines but until the
pay increases I will stay on the sidelines flying half as much as a regional pilot for 4 times the money as a regional FO and hope maybe someday a major picks me up. If not I will enjoy the quality of life I have now, hopefully for many years, but this is aviation so I won't count on it.

I should have said first year FO, I always think of the first year because I could never afford it. I am glad you are happy with 40000 but you are worth much more then that. What is sad is these higher pay rates could easily be achieved if we all paid 10 dollars more per ticket.

Do you realize what % of this country makes less than that, many of whom have master degrees. Heck we got more than a few flight attendants that have masters and quit being social workers to be FAs. Its optional to be here, everyone forgets that. Go try the job market right now doing other things, you can join the 1500 people who line up at a job fair for an $8/hr job. I want to make more money just as much as you do, but some of your sob stories are the environment we all create. You will sit here and cry, then go be a scab the next day. Same idiots that post about all this stuff, 6 months later are asking about gojet.

The personal insults will have to stop here. If you have valid points to make towards the arguments then please proceed. Insults hurled at other users will only led to the posts being deleted and the users not being able to post for awhile. No point in that. We all want to share our thoughts.
