Too bad there's not a way around it (aside from flying in the military).
The idea behind H.R. 5900 was that if new hires were more qualified, they would be better compensated.
It was? I thought the idea behind it was to give university 141 programs some nice marketing points on their web sites and brochures, "drive planez sooner here!!!@!"
You know why my plumber makes $80/hour to clean out my basement drain?
Because if I'm not willing to pay it, he simply doesn't show up.
Except for flight instructing, I've never made less than 40k, hit almost 80k doing aerial survey. There are a few ways to make OK money early on.Too bad there's not a way around it (aside from flying in the military).
negative.Which really makes me think about the big picture... The idea behind H.R. 5900 was that if new hires were more qualified, they would be better compensated. Is that happening, or has the qualification bar been raised and the compensation bar remained the same?
I'm going to be a pilot. I'll be making $300,000 a year and work 10 days a month......
Yet someone I know just took a job at a regional less than three weeks ago and still bitches about the pay scales and posted this article on FaceSpace.
Like he didn't see the thin paychecks coming.
negative.
The economical idea is that by limiting the supply, ceteris parabus, the price for the good (our pay in this case) will go up.
Not because we are more qualified, but because less people are as qualified as they need to be.
Its not a matter of implementation, once they can't find the supply of labor, they must raise the price they are willing to pay to entice more applicants.While I agree with you on that economic principle. I am skeptical to see it implemented that way.

The problem is the skilled supply is ridiculously immense

Which is not bad but I was referring to the airlines and those ultimately wanting to get on with a major one day.Except for flight instructing, I've never made less than 40k, hit almost 80k doing aerial survey. There are a few ways to make OK money early on.
They will be making more than first year FO pay if they winWhat do you guys feel about the "Fast Food Strike"?
This times a million. No one is forcing you to accept a job for terrible wages. If my employer called me and said hey we're only going to pay you 40k from here on out I'd tell him he'd need a new pilot. If he said 20k, I'd know he was joking and not worry about it. lol.You know why my plumber makes $80/hour to clean out my basement drain?
