Well...As most I went into this with eyes wide open.
I knew the pay were really bad, but I WANT to fly, so I never really think much of it.
I do see that the pay isnt adequate to pay the bills in the long run, and a STRIKE would be needed, but since the market is saturated with pilots in general, a halt in the flow of new pilots wouldnt be felt were the big bucks are. The schools would suffer, but the airlines always got the military to get pilots from.
BUT, that being said, the only way to effectivly force the schools to increase pay would be to create an effective union.
Cant see that happening thou....
