Hey fliboyd,
Rat 5 sounds like a commercial pilot who knows what his skills are worth. I also know what I am worth and trust me I would not accept $5300 as an FO let alone an experienced captain.
Being from the USA you should know better than anyone what has been happening to our industry. There has been downward pressure on terms and conditions worldwide in the wake of 9-11.
However, there is now a massive shortage of EXPERIENCED pilots and we should be trying to elevate our profession back to the standing that it deserves.
There are alot of employers out there who think they can get away with paying peanuts and we all know what you get if you pay peanuts!
So what are you fliboyd?
