Low pilot pay called 'dirty little secret'

[FBN0223]

How is this[outsourcing] a secret?

For the general public, that is. Ask any passenger who steps off a Delta owned EMB175, and ask which airline he/she just flew on. Their answer will be Delta or Northwest. "Are you sure it wasn't Compass?" The likely response, "Who's Compass?"

Just like the Bushinator already has been right?

The sad thing is this is what the loser really thinks.

The sad thing is I have a question for you but I think I'll pass.

Heck, most pax getting off an intl 767 flight connecting to a DC-9 will think they are on a commuter. From an aircraft age standpoint, they are right. Asian pax connecting in DET from NRT will think they are on the Trump shuttle.

But Instructor Dude weren't you the one that claimed no one has a view like ours in their office. That BS hasn't come up yet in these articles. Go back to the Triple A bro.

Funny since your party created historically low wages for employees and labor while helping robber baron management and executives to increase their compensation to unheard of levels.

Your a genious.

It is a view at 410 that very few people get to see daily AND GET PAID TO DO IT. One of the perks in this business.

Try telling that to the families of the 50 aboard the Colgan flight because they were under qualed to the safely and professionally.

Yes! Let me work more and pay me less. The view is so great that will make it all better. Hey Mr Banker, I don't have any money for my mortgage this month but here are some pictures of the view from 350 and above....that should cover it I think.

The last line in the story says it all.... "The public has to get involved and demand that pilots get paid more!"

The public in this country is about as ADHD as you'll find in any country.. so effectively, no matter how hard members of the media like this guy try to expose the "dirty little secret", sadly, I doubt anything will come of it. Sadly.

It is a great view and we appreciate it more than the general public, but after 20+ years of seeing it, I'm not trading off my retirement or my kids education for a "great view". If we could take the "general public" up into the cockpit, by the 50th time of seeing a sunrise at 2:00 am body clock time, they wouldn't give you 25 cents for the next one. It would be a "perk" if I could it on my time, my schedule, when I'm not tired, bring family and friends into my "office", trade it for money. At the end of the day it's not a perk numnuts.

I was enjoying the view above FL410 back when you were making propeller airplane noises as you hand flew your broken X-Wing Fighter toy, while wearing your yellow stained Power Rangers jammies, spare me your idiotic justifications for lowering everyone elses paycheck.

THe only thing that is going to affect pilot pay is supply and demand. If people quit learning to fly because the pay is ******************** then wages will increase to attract those out there with the quals.
