My pocket book is blue, JetBlue. His is red, bleeding red.
I've seen a lot of stupid things posted on this board. Just wanted to point out this may be in the top 10.

I was listening to WBBM on the ADF last night while returning to the home base. They were airing their financial news and an analyst said, "We're heading for double dip inflation" whatever that means.fifty30retard said:On behalf of JetBlue employees I would like to apoligize for Flying Freddie.

Godvek said:Even with future concessions, pilot pay at Delta and other Majors is still not a bad paycheck. What is the percentage of people in the US that make over $100,000, nonetheless over $150,000? We all have to be smart about our money and create our own retirement. The sign of the times.
michael707767 said:I have to respectfully disagree with you. 100K is not a good pay check given the experiance and education most major airline pilots have. Think about it, pick almost any other profession which requires a college degree and significant professional training. How much are they making ten or twenty years down the road? My wife is in HR for a large company, about 10 years experiance now, and she's pushing 100K. My brother in law is an accountant for a large firm. He's about 12 years in and making 200K plus. Many of my buddies from college are now making that and more. A neighbor is a pharmisist, he makes about 150K. Another neighbor is a mortgage broker. Granted interest rates have helped but he's making more than I do. Sorry, there is nothing special about a 100,000$ salary, not for college educated professionals.
Now, do we have to be smart about our money, yes. Do I need to fund my own retirement, sure. Were some of the old work rules and pensions at major airlines unsustainable, you bet. But don't for a minute think that 100K a year is special.
