Infinite loop bro. The workers are expendable because nobody cares to keep the job that pays trash. The company pays trash because the workers are expendable.

what does a minimum wage, "crew member" do for McDonalds that should net them that type of salary tho?
Thats the reason mostly teenagers work the registers at McDs...
"Worth" of an employee is kinda subjective. I think people dismiss fast food workers because of their pay. Receptionists literally sit down and answer phones (imo far more "worthless") and they get paid a livable wage.
What happened to pilot's union under the Regan administration was a shame.
A lot of these problems started with that administration and it's only gotten worse.

I don't understand these salaries yall are posting....
"In May 2012, the median annual wage for airline pilots, copilots, and flight engineers was $114,200. The median annual wage for commercial pilots was $73,280 in May 2012."

The life of an airline pilot lost its glamour a long time ago. The cost of flight training can top $100,000, and the entry-level pay at regional airlines, which handle roughly half of U.S. flights, for years hovered between $17,000 and $22,000 a year. The resulting nationwide pilot shortage is putting a squeeze on regionals, and ultimately some may not survive. A recent report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) found 11 of 12 regional airlines fell short of their hiring targets in the past year.
Let me start off by discussing hourly pay rates. Very often, you'll hear a pilot school recruiter or a TV reporter or read in the media a quote or statement that a professional pilot, "earns XX.XX amount per hour...." For example, one time on CNBC I heard a regional airline management representative trying to defend entry level regional airline pilot wages by proudly claiming that a new pilot at his airline earns twenty dollars an hour! Now to the general public, that's a pretty good wage. I mean, just doing round numbers in your head that's ($20/per hour) x (40 hours per week) x (52 weeks per year), right? That's over 40 grand a year, right? Wrong!
Pilots aren't paid like any other hourly worker in other professions. Despite the fact that professional pilots work 8, 10, 12 hour+ days just like any other professional, they are only compensated for the time considered "in flight." For most flying jobs, unless it's a salaried position, that usually means that they are paid from when the parking brake is released at the departure point until the brake is set upon arrival at the destination.
Only thing that's annoying is when they tell you to put the goddamn item on the bag area.will have to see how easy it is to use.

more info.
I think everyone should receive a guaranteed basic income regardless of employment status,enough each year for necessities....
Some would call that food stamps and/or child support.
Yea lets make people even more lazyI think everyone should receive a guaranteed basic income regardless of employment status,enough each year for necessities....
True, true...I see what your saying but it's not like there asking to be paid like execs... many of these people work a full 40 hours and Still have to use public assistance. Hell i wouldn't even care if they give them 10-12 (Which still is barely making it) but to tell someone they have to Live on 15K (BEFORE TAXES) is damn near slavery.
And while i do agree that many of these people should be trying to invest in becoming better or adding skills, what people tend to ignore is that it takes money & time to do these things. It's not like they can afford to miss hours or days.
@Gry60
kudos for the info and links, will def check it out when I get a chance.

Nothing irks me more than seeing "single" women pop out baby after baby. No job, no insurance, just depending on our government to pay them through life
But what I'm referring to is people cheating the system to get government assistance. People continue to have kids damn well knowing they can't afford it. There comes a time where we also have to take responsibility for our actionsWhich brings up a good point. Large companies refuse to pay higher wages so what happens? People get food stamps and other forms of government assistance. Where does this money come from? YOU. Seems like Yall rather pay to keep these families and people afloat yourselves

No,I'm referring to a minimum income that everyone receives whether you're unemployed or make 1 million+ a year,everyone receives the same amount.Some would call that food stamps and/or child support.
No one is holding a gun to the heads of these people and forcing them to stay with the company or holding them back from getting an education. Neither are they holding them back from seeking out other cities, states, or even countries where there are more jobs that pay well.
Just go take a look at MGM Resorts Las Vegas jobs page and you'll see how many jobs just one company offers in one city in an entire nation. But you don't want to move to Vegas? Ok, stay in your city and work at McDonald's or lowes.
