Thats the lamest excuse I've ever heard. Thats like someone saying it's okay to work for Gojets if you don't mind stabbing your fellow pilots in the back. Working for Great Mistakes says to people "Hey, I don't give a flip about anything. I'll fly in that right seat for peanuts and a banana just so I can tell people I swallowed my pride, lived below the poverty line and took one so I could fly a turbine powered aircraft"
I've not settled for less though I took the 135 route and started out VFR, moved to IFR and have always made a damn fine living at it.
People should remember there is more to aviation than Flight Instructing (which is an honest profession that professionals can make a good living doing) and regionals that can still get them to their final career destinations.
