My husband's paycheck is always crazy. He'll get it sometimes at 2:00 or 3:00 pm or 8:00 am but sometimes not until the VERY last minute before the day ends. He's a pilot and it's crazy. Our payments that go out on the first go out midnight the day before but sometimes he doesn't get paid till almost midnight that night. Does the employer have ALL day and night or until the close of business to pay him? It isn't fair! They also don't provide pay stubs. My husband flies all the time (like weeks gone from home at a time)and if he didn't show up on time they'd be pissed but it's okay if moneybags doesn't pay my husband until his lazy assistant gets to it.
Additional Details
actually pilots USED to get paid a ton of money now the average airline pilot makes 20,000 the first three years. My hubby is a private pilot in a large jet so it's true he fares better but when in the airlines he didn't do so well. Also, pilots aren't paid nearly what they're worth. Their education is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and it takes time and money (usually at their own expense, not a company's) to build up experience enough to be able to actually fly for the airlines that pay them crap. These professionals have many lives in their hands and they have to pay for experience that other professionals (doctors) get for free (during residency). A pilot has to know how the airplane works, all about the weather, keep informed of events in the plane, on the ground, and in the clouds all at the same time but yet people still feel the need to complain about their salaries. News for you....it's the CEOs of the airlines that make all the money. NOt the pilot.
