Same as every job. Supply and demand....
Pre-Colgan and 1500 hour rule (plus 65 year old retirement) regional pilots getting paid nothing, majors doing alright but pay cut after pay cut assuming you didn’t get furloughed.
You can argue til the cows come home whether cadets make better pilots but it’s pretty undeniable that by lowering the barriers to entry the price of pilot labour goes through the floor. Hardly helps the cadet either when they spend the first few years wages on training.
