This way lies the next Colgan Buffalo accident. I, in 40 years of aviation, have never seen anything this sleazy and corrupt. Think of this question asked by a passenger in today's mood toward pilots, "Son, how much are you getting paid to fly this turboprop?" And your answer, "Oh, I am paying them."
The current environment and pilot pay and benefits is telling you something and it is: "avoid this industry".
