Why are they barely profitable? Because they (management) choose to not cover their costs with the price of the ticket.

I made more slinging bags than a first year FO. 4 days a week, 12 hour days, but unlike a pilot I was in my own (or some random girls) bed every night. And in my 3 days off I was going to europe, rather than going across the country to get home. Sad.

An entry level job using my degree would net me AT LEAST 60k a year. I know guys that have 100k/ years jobs lined up for after graduation in may.

Name any other industry where a entry level PROFESSIONAL, that is required to be there, that is payed as little as a 1st year FO. Good luck.
