Ah; give it a rest.
If a pilot with the proper licenses and ratings is willing to perform the job for whatever $hitty salary and conditions that are currently on offer, then guess what? Thats the going rate, boys!
A pilot's worth is defined by the moron who accepts it. That's the botton line
So until we manage to eliminate the idiots at the licensing stage, we're not going to get anywhere. And let's be honest; why on God's earth should a high-school dropout bordering alcoholic be paid anything else but minimum wage after an 18 month course in how to keep the blue sky up?
Any kid stupid enough to want to be a pilot doesn't have the critical mindset required to be one.
