don't underrate your status

Having supported a graduate through all the processes of trainingpl, atpl, instrument rating, crewing. jet rating line training etc. It really cheeses me off when the likes of Ryan Air and now Easy jet can pay new pilots less than a bus driver to fly nearly 200 people. When the job comes back pilots should ensure that they raise their status to where it should be as professionals. Don't put yourselves down, I have a wide range of graduate professional qualifications and would regard the training a jet pilot goes through as more than equivalent. Start thinking we not just me.
