I'm one paycheck away from the end of the year and I made $28,000 as a pilot. I qualify as 'very low income' for housing assistance.

Ya know what folks,

I am sick and tired of this whining. Why on earth are pilots entitled to some higher standard of living than the rest of the population, just because we're pilots? I've heard all the lame arguments about the level of training, the expense of training, whatever. But for pete's sake- there are irregularities like that all over our supposed free-market system and I don't hear us as a group addressing those at all.

Do you shop at Walmart? Do you not feel the least bit bad about buying that low priced microwave, knowing full well that thirty years ago some UNION worker at a GE plant lost his job, because Sam Walton thought it a good idea to get the stuff cheaper from China?

When was the last time you voted FOR a property tax increase in order to give school teachers a raise????

When was the last time you got on AMAZON and paid the highest price you could for anything? Knowing full well that it was your God-ordered duty to pay the highest price, thus enriching the lives of everyone in the supply chain!!!

Have you voted Democrat 100% of the time? Knowing that unions and the AFLCIO fully back the Democrats and their ideal of worker's rights.


Blah blah blah!!!!

Vote with your vote.

Vote with your feet.

Vote with your wallet.

Until you do all those, quit your whining and enjoy the ride on this magnificent wealth building innovative machine, we call the almost kinda sort've free market economy.

You can't have it both ways people!!!

Now go heat up your tears in that cheap made-in-China microwave and shut up!!

I'm already on the waiting list for section 8... in SoCal you can actually get some really nice apartments that many normal people can't afford. The problem is, there are so many people on the waiting list (and single people are lowest priority) that it'll be 2020 by the time I can claim it, and by then hopefully I'll be making more than $25k..

Sam Walton didn't buy cheap crap from china while he was alive. After his death tho five of the weathiest people had the last name Walton when they did buy from china

Walmart has allowed families to buy clothing and shoes and food who otherwise could not have afforded the same quality or quantity. Walmart has saved families thousands of dollars so they can buy books and other necessities for their kids. Walmart has provided thousands of jobs to people who otherwise would be on welfare. Walmart has done far more good for this country than bad.

Obama needs to send that guy above an award.. Good for free healthcare.. Your kids will pay for it later..

Mentalities like that just lower the countdown to this country truly falling apart..

The oply thing that has happened in this country has been the erosion of the middle class and it has been happening in fast forward.

Tell all that to the small business owners who were driven out of by a local big-box installation which was the direct result of Nixon wanting to drive a wedge between the Red Chinese and Soviets.

It is free enterprise at it's purist on one end of the equation and near slave labor on the other. But we voted with our wallets and continue to do so to our own industry which has resulted in airline tickets being bought on Priceline.com rather than Wellpaidpilots.com. So think about that, next time your airline wages fail to keep up with inflation.

The anthem "Who is John Gault?" is a double edged sword which cuts both ways, but fails miserably when one side of the supply equation is a communist nation.

There is a reason that some airlines have in their manuals that pilot are not allowed to pick up food stamps, or WIC food items at the Walmart's in their uniforms.

Buscap, give me one reason why regional pilots shouldn't be allowed to make a wage that allows them to live above poverty level? My cousins wife just received notice that she will be laid off Dec 31st. He's now the bread winner with his 3 year regional FO pay. He's filing bankruptcy and no, he doesn't live outside of his means. He drives a 1992 Ford, she has a old Honda Accord.
You think he's perfectly safe behind the controls of an airliner today? Tomorrow? How about Jan 1st?
