19k/year is pathetic for an airline pilot, and the airlines should be ashamed of themselves for that. I can't blame them though. If they can find people willing to work for that amount of pay, it really isn't their fault. If you are doing it, though, you are contributing to the problem. You sold yourself short.

The reason there is a "shortage" of pilots right now is because of the pay they are offering. If Eagle bumped their pay up, I would be all over them. Instead, I am just going to continue instructing, get my ATP in a couple of months, and explore my options from there.
