Yeah, I was making 80,000 at whataburger as a fry cook but I decided to take the paycut and become a pilot for a better view. It was a sacrifice, selling the porsche and all, but I think it will be worth it in the long run. Fry cookin gets boring after a while.
In seriousness, have any of you worked a real crap job before? I see these comparisons to whataburger and home depot and it makes me wonder how out of touch some of you are with the working world. It shouldn't be an excuse to settle for less, but the average person works for absolute crap pay. We as pilots, even now, are in the pay realm of skilled/educated professional. I would like to see it go back to where it was, but even Skybus is worlds away from whataburger pay. Flame suit donned.
