LADIES AND GENTLEMAN,
As you can see, the life of a new RJ pilot isn't much of a life. Not only are they busting their A$$ every month, they are incuring DEBT!! Between the commuting, lay-overs, 14 hour workdays, and stress, its amazing that these people don't have a nervous breakdown. All this for what? They are not making an income, they are loosing money! Hell, the way I see it, these new pilots are PAYING FOR TRAINING.
I KNOW HIGHSCHOOL KIDS WORKING AT TACO BELL THAT MAKE MORE MONEY!!!
Why is this happening? Why are the pilots destroying the industry by not demanding a pay scale that is in line with their responsability, training and education. I mean, really, why is this happening! Why are we allowing it to happen!
All that training, education, ambition for what? Mounting Credit Card bills? What a waste.
