(This is in the US, maybe different elsewhere.) And it's a minimum wage position. It's not surprising they don't know much about what they're doing. As for me, for the foreseeable future I'm not going anywhere I can't drive. But I'm thinking about reactivating my pilot's license for the longer trips.
