Seeing the continual degradation of the airline career including pay, benefits and prestige. Along with main line flying becoming increasing out sourced to the lowest bidder. Would you still have invested all the time and money into aviation, if the salary of a regional captain was the most you would ever make as a pilot. Hypothetically speaking if there was no majors (SWA, FEDEX, Delta....ect) and the highest paid pilots made $60-70 bucks and hour.
I have always wondered how many would still fly as a career if the most you would top out at is regional captain pay. .
