Kalifornia-

We both seem to agree that GLA pilots are underpaid. We just seem to disagree on why. I never said I agree that our profession should be one that you have to make welfare wages to gain experience and move on; I merely pointed out that it has been done that way for a long time.

You're talking about first year, everyone knows it's almost equal to flying for minimum wage, probably below.... The problem is that by second year you should be upgrading and making more than some regional places and by third of fourth year you should be gone. So in the long run, you end up making more money going to GL.

No great lakes 1900 capt makes as much as most REG fo's, and until year 8 the 120 capts don't make as much as a OH FO. even Mesa fo's make as much as GL 1900 capts
