My mentor is a chief pilot, and if a guy comes in and dosen't try to negoatite pay, he won't get the job. Even if it is someone with higher quals than the next guy in line. It shows something called integrity. Try some on for size!
One could argue equally that YOUR viewpoint lacks substance and experience and is predicated on nostalgia and rhetoric. The position should fill quickly ya think given the fact many SICs for regionals can transition over to this position and INCREASE their pay substantially. You going to say they are part of the problem as well for wishing a pay increase?

Someone's going to take this job as either a pay cut or a pay increase. That's a fact. It's not disrespectful to anyone; it's simply an end to a means and again, it's a fact of life. To editorialize negatively about it is simply a good indicator of a social/economically naive individual.

My take. . .
