Free Food in College? Try as a Regional FO...

I remember my starting pay was $10,800 per year.

Think I didn't know every hotel in town that had a free spread available during happy hour for use on my days off? Think again.

Buy a Diet Coke, or if I felt rich that day, a PBR, and go to town on the baked potatoes or tacos, etc... Even had the veggies put out to get my vitamins.

What an industry.

You do know that if you can suffer the humility of going down and standing in line, YOU too can get food stamps! Actually, it is a credit card now! I was not too proud! You just can't buy brew!

Food Stamps (I tried)

Turns out back 20 years ago in the City I was based in, I made about $500 too much per year to qualify for food stamps.

If I had just one child at the time, I would have more than qualified.

Wonder what the Federal Poverty Line is today to qualify for Food Stamps? Not sure if it varies from City to City these days.

Anyway you slice it, whether you like the guy or hate him, I wish every American was required to see that Michael Moore flick that documented the Regional Airline first year pay (or for that matter, Continental's first year pay).

Truly sad, especially at the Union carriers. Obviously, the Pilot's working at them have the mindset of, "I did it, the new guys will have to do it as well." Or they would make the compromises to negotiate with their Managements a livable wage for their New Hire Pilots.

You know how long it takes the FAs to earn 1st year pilot pay?

I dont think it's technically first class if they put the packet of crackers inside a cup. From what I've seen in real first classes they lay silk in front of you with real plates and forks.

REAL First Class hasnt existed domestically for how long now - a decade at least?

Use the money you save in dues to buy yourself lunch.

That's about $3.

Plenty for a 6inch sub from subway. It would help some of the fat asses lose weight.

The subway diet is a myth. For foot long, you eat enough bread to feed a family of 10 in Africa in one sitting, along with month old meat and canned vegetables. The 6 inch, you're hungry again in an hour.
