There seems to be no recognition on this board that people in the USA can work for whatever they want to work for. Be it ex military or be it ex airline or whatever, they have a right to work at the wages they find acceptable. Everyone here seems to be constantly looking for a way to legislate pay rates acceptable to them for them.
I had a former Marine pilot who went on with the airlines talk to me about a job and made it clear that he expected a wage way above the norm because he had all this experience. Last time I saw him, he had not found anyone who appreicated his talents. I ahve seen other retire from one of the other and find jobs to stay in the business but were paid market rates.
The point is that only we can determine our market rate. There is no "right pay" for any particular flying. There is offered and accepted.
