PTH
Agree completely, all those "failings" are likely to be found in an operation that pays poorly, but that payscale she mentioned is not far off the commuter industry standard. I stand by my point that pilots will take that pay for the chance to be a pilot and the possibility to move on to the majors. And that is a hideously stupid idea. Why shouldn't "management" take up on the deal, especially if not doing so may end your enterprise's existence?
