Serious question: How does one determine the "economic value" of any job? Yeah yeah yeah, "the market" determines it. But isn't that what is happening right now with airline jobs (pilots, mechanics, F/As) -- "the market" is working through a period of transition and at some point the "market value" of these jobs will be established? So does it matter what any of us think the market value of the F/A job is, if we can just wait a while for the dust to settle?



Another question: Could all of the participants on this thread please post their job title and yearly gross income? That way we can all chime in as to whether or not we think you are "overpaid" based on our understanding of your "economic value."
