Why are Pilots such Idiots!!!

Please excuse the title but it got your attention!!

I have just flicked through FI job section and I am mortified to see that almost every position available is through one of the parasitic agencies.
Typically the salary being offered by these outfits is WAY below the salary one would expect for an experienced professional. When I first looked at KAL many years ago the salary was the same 10K that it is now!!!
Are we idiots?!!! The agencies are keeping salaries pegged and they are taking a large commission. What do they do for such a large chunk of our salary? Do we REALLY need them to hold our hand and help us get a Job?

I am dismayed that apparently so many of my colleges deal with these parasites. I have never used them and never will.

I Herby appeal to all concerned to boycot these outfits and apply DIRECT to the airline stating salary expectations and your unwillingness to deal through these agents. Only by sticking together will we rid ourselves of this parasitic disease that is driving down the COS in our hard earned professions
