OK...we're all part of the problem, I get that.
Did you see what the salaries were for Legacy Airlines pre-9/11? That was what was very appealing about this industry, along with the amount of time off every month.
UPS, SWA and FedEx are some of the best paying jobs right now. Not because they necessarily have risen that much, but because the likes of UAL, AA and DAL have retreated so much.
So back to the original point. Why dump tens of thousands of dollars into ratings to get into an industry that has sucked since 9/11? I've flown with guys who have invested close to $100K, only to be making $20-30K, with no upgrade insight, and are lucky to not be furloughed right now. I know the airline industry is cyclical, but why take the risk looking back over the past 8 years???
I've been at ASA for close to 8 years, and when I started my airline career, I never would have believed it would be the way it is right now.
9/11, bankruptcies, oil prices, bird flu, swine flu, economy tanking... why do it?
