The following is from Michael Moore's book entitled "Stupid White Men" He wrote this after learning what a regional pilots salery consists of:
"...I did not want to get on that plane. You see, there's something about us humans and our basic animal instincts for survival--and one of those instincts, probably traceable back to the caveman days is: Never, ever let someone fly you up in the air who's making less than the guy at Taco Bell"
"I don't know about you, but I want the people taking me with them to defy natures most powerful force--gravity--to be happy, content, confident, and well paid....When I'm at 30,000 feet I do not want the minds of the pilots or the attendents to be occupied with how they're going to get the heat and lights turned on once they get back home tonight, or which Bob's Big Boy they're going to have to stick up in order to make the monthly rent. And what's the lesson for the flying public? Be nice to people on welfare--they may be flying you to Buffalo."
