That's not the point sir.

They're still paying someone $26/hour to be in command of a very sophisticated aircraft with lives in the cabin. The type of person who understands that responsibility deserves a hell of a lot more than $26/hour.

You know it's a sad day when Colgan outpays you by $10/hour for first year captain.
