$65,000 goes a long way still, especially as a pilot where you can live almost anywhere you want.
I think there are advantages to being an airline pilot that you are ignoring for the sake of discussion. |
No, they don't apply to this discussion. We're talking about pay, not other benefits that you can't put a price on.
Call me greedy, but my understanding of capitalism is that you take what you can and give nothing back, knowing that everybody else is going to attempt to do the same. Settling isn't an option in this kind of an economy and will only lead to you getting hosed in the end when you're not ready to stand up for what you think you should be paid.
If you think $65,000 a year is great, why aren't you at Skybus yet? You could make good money for living in Columbus, cheer for Ohio State and get paid what you believe to be a fair wage. But I imagine you've got some pretty compelling reasons for not going that route yet eh?
