Salaries are being held down by offshoring of jobs. We have lost
close to 5,000 high tech jobs in Boise in the past 2 years alone,
mostly due to offshoring by Micron and HP. With that going on,
very few people in the high tech industry in this area have gotten
raises in the past 5 or 6 years, and if they did, it was pretty
small (a couple of percent one time).

I don't see how GA is going to attract many new pilots if this
trend continues...

You know, pretty soon we are not going to make anything. What happens
then. We need to outlaw unions and get rid of the minumum wage. I
dont know we need to do something different.


Out of idle curiosity, I have to ask: How is eliminating the minimum
wage going to allow more people to afford to fly?


Well, more employers..
