Wave,

We can blame you for it to. As i stated to you before. It is getting old. You went to fly at a regional by choice. A lot of others did not. You did buy your type. A lot of others did not ever pay for training. I did neither. It was your choice. Move on.
 
Be tired of it.
For all the selling out im responsible for, I never VOTED to outsource one single airframe.

No, your hypocrisy led you to take that outsourced job. Then topped it all off by signing up for pay for training!
 
Another angry junior regional pilot. I hear ya. This career has been a total
bust for most of us.

Not the least bit angry. I started and own a business, develop products, collect on rentals and earn a great living. I still fly and enjoy it. I just stopped relying on it for a the income I need to bring my life what I sought. I've accepted my position and its likely future. Forming an alternative has provided far greater reward that logging onto a forum and verbally bashing my industry counterparts.
 
That is incorrect. You must not be familiar with the home construction industry. Wages for skilled labor rise and fall with aggregate demand. And I'm sure that if I sat down and thought about this for a while, there would be many other occupations that have seen wages rise commensurate with labor supply shortfalls.


Construction, nursing, teaching, fracking, mining, roughnecking, as will piloting, are affected by CURRENT shortages - not projected shortages. Thus, the initial statement is correct.

WHEN the shortage hits, something will happen. I would speculate that airlines will bemoan a "national crisis" and twist regulators' arms to minimize it's effect and keep wages low. There will be all kinds of exceptions and waivers to the 1,500TT rule and the airlines will push to delete ANY age requirement (gladly paying senior pilots max-capped wages so as not to increase pay for anyone else). We might well see a 250-hour MPLs before wages, benefits and prestige come back to this profession.

Scoot, you're so stupid you're irrelevant- back on my version of the ignore list
(you know, where I don't put you on an ignore list- I just ignore you)
 
Well bricktop, it's not an either/or thing for me. My business gives me a challenge, and satisfaction flying usually doesn't anymore- and income that I won't make as a pilot-
But I reserve the right to call a spade a spade here on FI.
