I agree Metroman, but unlike other professions, pilots are always willing to undercut each other to get that jet job. Hell, we even have pilots who will work for nothing just to get hours up. You don't see doctors, lawyers etc, undercutting each other.

As such we should expect more than a 3 bed room house in the western suburbs and a five year old Commodore.

We're not the rest of society. Other people may be content to manage and get by. Professional pilots deserve rewards in line with their qualifications and responsibilities.
Thousands of people rely on us every day to to transport them safely from A to B. The job requires the maintenance of high standards and the investment of considerable time and money in gaining the required licences.
After qualifying as a doctor, solicitor or other professional, people naturally expect a return for their efforts, why should we be different ?
If we are going to be no better off than forklift drivers then why bother ?
Pay $300 for a five day course, earn $60 000 within a few months working business hours with no pressure or responsibilities. Where do I sign up ?

The answer to 'where to', won't be paradice?
