How low have the airlines gone?

[tired_pilot]

At home killing some time today I decided to go on Monster.com to see what kind of jobs are being advertised. Two things I saw surprised me, I mean they did but they didnt.
United had an ad for rampers.. qualifications 18 years old and at least a 10TH grade education.

Another was for a pharmaceutical company (Banner health) looking for a FO for their Coporate flying departmet, starting pay 14.93 per hour. Thats got to be close to what they pay the janitor!

Trust me im not trying to bash anyone, I threw bags for Skywest in college. If you cant graduate high school you dont belong anywhere near a sterile area on airport grounds.

Sometimes the guy with the 10th grade education slings luggage the best. Certain occupations require a certain type of person. Too much intelligence can cause bordom and mischief. Smart people sometimes do less well when engaged in simple tasks whereas the opposite may be true of a person of less intelligence.

The guy who works on the ramp at UAL will probably max out at 20 per hour. The guy starts as an FO at 14.93 will probably command a widebody someday and make an income over 100K. Big difference here.

You have so much to learn.

Too true! The same for ethics. Persons with little or none make great CEO's, since all they need to do is chant, "It's good for the shareholders!" every time they do someting to hammer their employees.
