Are these airline management people NUTS? 22K based on a simple 40 hr

MacDonald's pays the guy who bags the French Fries batter than this!!
(The "batter" was a typo but I liked the pun :-)


You and Gatt hit the nail with this one.20 years ago at the commuters
it was the same situation. NASA did a survey
and found that 20% of airline pilots under the age of 40 were
planning to leave the industry. It is fun to joke but we do have to
wonder what it will be like when the airlines stop attracting
dedicated people.



The day's already here for some airlines, unfortuately.
