No I didn't! Let me see, you think that pilot's are paid what they are worth?
In General Aviation, I don't think that's true at all!
There's nothing too subtle about it!
Yeah, you could go fly for an "Air America Wannabe" in Africa and get shot at and make more, but that's a bunch of crap too.
If I had any say in it, I would make it illegal for a commercial operator to charge for time and make a candidate pay for his or her own training. We are moving further and further away from hiring, "the most qualified candidate".
Next they'll be asking these young guys and girls to pay for their own recurrent training, office space and why not fuel for the bloody plane while we're at it!
