There are some retired TWA pilots that need to work to make ends meet. There
are some recently retired pilots from "reorganized" carriers who have lost a
good portion of their retirement.

Then, there's those overpaid school teachers in California who retire at 100%,
get COLA increases from a bankrupt state, and who are rolling in dough.~

And should we feel sorry for each and every person who either made a
bad decision in their lives or squandered their savings?

As I say to the major propilots on the field, it would be a real bitch
to have to live on $150K a year. Stop your ****ing and moaning and
get on with life.

No ****ing and moaning from me. I just burns me when you jerks think all airline
pilots make or made $150K per year. That was my point, but you Cessna wannabes are
so jealous of real pilots, your vision is more than slightly clouded.

That is (was) true of some, but certainly not all. At TWA they couldn't break the
$100 K barrier, and the F/Os and F/Es did far worse.
