I see my message is getting across, and I am glad it is, maybe we will see a change in the future. I for one, have never PAID for job training and I never will, but there are those who will, and as long as that happens, we will always be faced with low paying jobs in this profession.
As an example, that company had a Captain leave to go fly a B-747 as an FO and make less money. For what--to go fly all over the world and never be home--but in his eyes, he is LIVING THE DREAM!!

Jealous? Hmmm, Amsterdam or Hong Kong layover versus Million Air sofa recliner in Flint, Michigan and being on call 24/7. I think I will take a set days off schedule thanks.
 
Yea stupidpilot, I know how it is in this industry---one step at a time, and by the time you are in your mid 30's or early 40's you may get the break you slaved for over the past 10 to 15 years.
The person I refered to in my previous tread, was already typed in the B-757 and had flown for an airline and was in his mid thirtys. You know how it is, you put in the years to get the experience and then you become over qualified or the industry goes into a slump and the next thing you know, your in your mid forty's with a wife, two kids, and a dog stuck in some fly by night operation.
It's a great life though, beats working for a living, and I for one have experienced the aformentioned.
If you love flying, stick with and GOOD LUCK in the future.
I advise you post on a message board consistant with your new career whatever the heck that is. Save the bitching for those who are best at it. . .dedicated career pilots.
