Just maybe, one day soon, the sheen will come off the flying job - and the compensation may just rise in future...remember - tell every dreamer who dreams of flying what a goddam awful existence it is first
Or tell them to research and not visit PPRUNE because its both good and bad information. Its your job to decide but as a pilot I suggest that "A" you do not pay for a SSTR; and "B" dont work for a LCC. Watch the industry improve after that
