100LL,
So your saying that someone with another couple hundred hours or so of dual given will know so much more about the industry, and in turn will not fly for the current wages and raise the standard for everyone? Ehhh, with all due respect, I dont buy it. The guy with 500hrs and the guy with 1800hrs are going to do the same thing, fly for the same company, fly for the same wages, because they both need a job. I knew plenty of CFI's, banner towers, whatever they may be, that had upwards of 2000hrs or so and would have taken that initial $19/hr regional job when it popped up, just like the 500hr guy, because they had to move on. ( I am not saying the 500hr guy had to "move on", thats just the situation they were presented with). I agree something needs to be done, but the low time of a new hire isnt whats driving down wages, in my opinion. Please correct me if I am misunderstanding you.
