Pretty sure not everything is about money. I would choose to be a pilot even if it paid less than dumpster waste collector.

That's how you used to get suckered into that job.

25 years ago you'd get paid about 25k to fly commuters so you could build hours to go to a real airline. You'd live like shit, have crash pads shared with 10 people.

That changed after Colgan 3407 crashed. That crew was a mess.

Sadly from what I see another incident is going to happen. In the past year or so the industry has been flooded with inexperience and incompetence due to replacing a slew who left.
