Do you get what you pay for when you hire a pilot?
If the starting salary is under 20K a year and opportunities are limited beyond that; does the quality of people flying up front begin to decline?
Perhaps to the point where you have two howler monkeys sitting up front saying ‘dude, grab a Pepsi and watch this!’ shortly before the airplane careens into the ground.
I think so; and the idea of spending all day in a small box with ‘dudes’ like that was a small factor in my decision to stay out of the airlines (mostly it was the lack of pay and crappy schedule)
Now flame on!
