I believe in the tried-n-true adage ...”you think training is expensive, try an accident!” Unfortunately not all airline owners, managers, etc. believe as you do ... and even more unfortunately, there are far too many young and eager, still “damp” behind the ears, fledgling pilots that will take what they can get because they believe that’s all they will be offered. I’m with you, my friend, I’d rather sell cars, mow lawns, bag groceries, whatever ... and still be here to take care of my family. Death is a rather permanent state that I’d like to avoid for as long as possible.
