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.

Squabbling amongst employees

Why not try to do what others do, start small,save your money and end up where you want to be.Don't expect everything to be handed to you on a plate.
spot on.Real professionals do not undercut each other.There is a difference between someone who has a profession and someone who is professional.

Get your hand off it. Aint no such thing as deserves.

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 ?
