A lot of accuracy and truth for a mainstream media article, as to why this industry has gone down the drain.
Does it ever. Except, when I flew the B99 and did that, there was still the likely prospect of ending up on in the left seat of the widebodies. While that still exists, there is a LOT bigger odds against it, as pilots have to roll the dice with these so-called "Low Cost Carriers" and regional airlines such that they may never reach the only segment of the industry that pays a professional-level salary.Wow....the girl's story sounds just like mine.Went to work for GP Express in 1993...making $13,500 a year(after paying $7000 for my training) flying a Beech 99.....qualified for food stamps. Lived in an apartment with 5 other slugs doing the same thing. Some of our lines had 8 legs a day.Scheduled 14 hr. days...All my buddies thought I was insane....sound familiar??
