Comments like that merely show your ignorance of the current state of the industry.
You don't get it do you Mike. Why do you think the industry is in it's current state?

I guess you're part of the "I want it now" crowd with comments like that. There is no way you'd take a job on 404 earning bugger all a year as an air taxi when you can just pay through the nose and hop straight into the right seat of a big shiny jet.

You see what happens when you do that? There is now no job for the newly qualified pilot because the air taxi job he could have had is still being filled by the air taxi pilot who can't move on to a turbo prop because the turbo prop job he could have had is still being filled by a turbo prop pilot who can't move on to a big shiny jet because people like you have paid to jump the queue.
