Truly awful wages. However, who becomes a pilot with the goal of becoming rich? Nobody sane. It's a sad fact that this business does not pay well relative to other occupations and there is scant respect for pilots as well. We are viewed as glorified bus drivers - commodities willing to wh0re ourselves out to build time...
Well, get your valuable 737NG time and then leave for greener pastures - just don't expect the pastures to be "much" greener...
