I've been reading the posts written about the B6 Jungle jet pay rates and can't help but wonder: when will the lack of top level compensation drive off all of the beginners?
How long before reality sets in? How many pilots will aspire to the profession when the compensation is equivalent to flippin burgers?
It will happen. Sooner or later, the wages will be so unattractive that no reasonable person will enter the workplace.
Now for the real question, what will the managers (who are currently demanding low pay) do, when they truly can NOT find pilots willing to work for Wal-Mart wages? If they wish to remain consistent, the only choice will be for them to close their doors, park the planes, and hold a going out of business sale. Because their current rhetoric maintains that they can't pay proper pilot wages and still stay in business.
