Wow yeah.

I don't think he is complaining, just mentioning that it seems ridiculously low. No need to tee off on him.
Alot of people are amazed at how poorly an airline pilot is paid. Even with big ads in airports, most people have no clue that the airlines start you out at poverty level. Everytime I tell someone my plans to quit my job and be an airline pilot, they make some remark about how rich I will be.

I know of 3 people off-hand that went to med school in their 40's as well.
