SPS, I agree totally, I enjoy the job also, and it has proven to be invaluable experience to work with a variety of people and to see them progress throughout their training.
It has always struck me as strange though that some of the least experienced in the business have the priviledge of training the next generation of pilots and are rewarded the least for their efforts.
As a mater of interest, we are paid on revenue hours only @ $30/Hour, what's the average in the northern climes?...
Again, I love the job, but I cant pay the bills with love...
