Now...call me kookie; I don't have an MBA or anything, but when the
average starting pilot makes less per year than the average Greyhound
or city bus driver, not to mention the average airline employee--when
the pilot's salary is less than that that of the 22-year-old child
care provider watching their kid--gee, I *just can't think of any
reason* why they can't find qualified pilots anymore.

In the old days, perhaps they could depend on finding people who loved
flying so much that they'd fly for any salary. People like that are
probably much rarer now than they were in the past.


Do you know anything at all?
