"Airline pilots paid less than a manager at Tacobell"
With a huge cost of entry a small population from which to draw and increasing retirement rates, bottom feeding 'creations' like Jetconnect are the first to show signs of duress.
Of course hiding remuneration from a pilot until hired might muddy the water for a while, but airline management the world over is in part to blame:
HR and IR have, due historically unlimited supply of pilots driven terms and conditions so low that they fail to attract applicants. Those applicants are now fewer in numbers than taking the ridiculous step of hiding salary from an applicant is considered normal.
Rest assured the next 'Stream Lead' delivered story of woe will try and contain any upward movement in terms and conditions.
To paraphrase Sully, "No airline pilot wants their child to become a pilot"
