2. The lowest bidder includes you. We choose to weed-out and curtail those who aspire to do this job for less. Reason: Airline pilots are like other professions in one sense: we have a limited shelf life. We all have to retire someday and we need to earn our money while we can. They are also unlike many other professions in many ways as well. responsibility, long hours, etc.

3. Pilots who will work for less are fewer and fewer. As hiring standards and job minimums improve so does entry level pay. A rising tide lifts all ships.
