Do they make all students wear rubber gloves when sumping fuel? or is that a personal choice?
"On the industry side, regional carriers have significantly elevated salaries for rookie pilots so that they don't have to scrape by their first few years out of school. A year and a half ago, the average salary mark hovered in the mid-$20,000 range. It's now around $40,000."
Since when, is an ATP qualified, type-certificated pilot, considered a "rookie" pilot?
This article sends the douche-chill meter off the charts........as if ERAU wasn't bad enough......

I always get a kick out of seeing the Kids from ERAU, at OSH each summer, outfitted in their pilot uniforms, complete with epaulettes, referring to each other as "Captain".

1500hr cfi-freshly atp'd = rookie pilots. Sry, but true. 10 hrs done 150 x's does not make a seasoned pilot. However, if you come from a more diverse background (i.e.135 single pilot flying in inclimate wx at night) then your a least a journeymen.

I graduated from ERAU more than 25 years ago (though I was already CFI before enrolling). It was a very good education but it is not worth what it costs today.
Back in the late 1980s we were paying around $1,700 per semester, IIRC, in tuition. Now it looks like it's over $15,000. Even adjusting for inflation the $1,700 I paid is less than $3,300 in today's dollars.

Why would the kids these days choose to go to ERAU and plunge themselves deep into debt for the chance to make a whopping '$40k'? Go be a cop instead, make $120k, without the need to plunge into crushing debt.

So how about it LAAAAMAAAAR, you going to raise the pay to $120k for your pilots after just a couple years in the seat?
