I see where your coming from with the calc's, had done them myself. Whilst it depends on how you look at it the biggest problem is that we have wannabees willing to hock themselves for a lifetime to fly jets. Additionally jet pilots (captains) still get paid a whole lot more than a GA captain. So where is this going? I don't know.
I do know that if your chasing cash then the jets is where its at even considering todays much reduced packages over yesteryear. The LCC is here to stay because they can.
