Surely a willingness to work regardless of the salary is bad for pilots in the industry.

If for example previously to this disaster, a First Officer in a regional gets a take home salary of 23,000. They require a pilot and employ someone that is willing to take 15,000 as they see it as a short term measure.

Now if this happens in a few companies the general trend is the lowering of salaries. I guess that is good for the bean counters, and airlines but certainly not the best of ideas for pilots and future pilots.

Or do you mean, you are willing to take a lower paid job than you have presently but what even so the lower paid job is roughly the industry standard at present for such a carrier?
