I happen to be one of those non-college graduate, didn't fit the "airline profile" types and just found a break in the ice.
What's wrong with that? I paid my dues in the military, flying, and it too has it's merit..........
Some of us (and we are a big club) think that OUR benefits, work rules, and (albeit not industry standard?) pay is OK and substancial for what we do on a day to day basis.
Like I said at first, it's all perception.
C yaaaa

800Dog said:Well Cuz,
Airbus Captains at the legacy carriers were making well over $200hr before the eroding began! What they are making now and there days off can be attributed to your eroding of the profession. Enjoy your career or, should I say, job! You should be making much more and the truly sad part is, you do not even know any better. I cannot decide who is the enemy her. Pilots such as yourself or greedy management. By the way, 150k a year was good money in the 80s. Not much today to raise a family, fund your own retirement and be forced to retire at the young age of 60. You guys Blow!
