The UK airline industry is heading in much the same direction. :(

Great song though.

I can hardly believe that, though I had heard that US regional guys got low salaries,but $17,100USD???

That's about £8,700 GBP.
Even assuming there is no tax in the US (is there?) that's £725 a month:eek:

Is it possible to live on this salary in the US?? I earnt almost twice that instructing on a Cessna in the UK and now I earn over 4 times what US regionals earn for the same job in the UK.

I´m afraid thats what low cost airlines are bringing to us ,I know they are not all low cost in the video, but they are forced to pay that little sometimes .....:\

They do it not because they're forced... but because they can. Only when pilots at these small US regionals start leaving abroad en masse or graduating to higher paid US jobs will the companies learn. However, even then will they continue to pay so little because the are always newly trained pilots who are happy to use them as a stepping stone.

Only when people start to think that flying as a career isn't worth it due to high training costs and ever decreasing salaries and conditions will it improve. Unfortunately this is how things go.

I would have made a living as a stripper. Although, not many women find man boobs a turn on.
