It is definitely a sad indictment of the industry. I can get $120k PA to drive a brand new truck for 10days on 7days off, and more if I decide to go back to my trade (heavy duty fitter), and yet when chatting with some management types in the aviation industry recently about a job was informed my +8000 Hrs and all the ratings and endorsements are worth about $35k.
If I wasn't working for myself in the aviation industry, i doubt I would be in it at all. I'm glad i pay myself a bit better than the industry standard.
