The numbers are correct, but the human factors involved with taking any job are still going over your head
In the past downturn of the industry that took Eastern, Panam, Brannif. I went from a 727 to a cessna 402 and I was one of the lucky ones, thousands of pilots on the street. There are many factors that influence an individual to have to take a job that they don't really want, but the conditions of the market place now are not the conditions then. If Skybus would have not gotten any takers at that salary rate, would they have folded the tents and not go along with starting the airline? I don't think so. If pilots don't demmand a decent wage when the industry is on an upswing, when will they? That is the fact that still going over yours. I just don't see the need for redefining a new low at this time and I wish you luck in trying to fix that because it affects ALL pilots, not just you guys.
