In the good ole days you could have a mint for dessert.

HAHA too funny. When I was on first year pay I would bring a LOAF of bread in my cooler. I'm not joking. My out of pocket costs for a 4-day were in the neighborhood of $10. It was such a pathetic life. My brother in law got his masters paid for and left college making $80k to start, his girlfriend is right behind him. It's really opened my eyes, my wife and I making that little money and him making that much. He is already looking at houses and a Lexus. Guess what he also gets free food at work.
I love flying, and working 121, but the pay is beyond atrocious for the amount of work we put into it when you stop and think about it. I guess it goes to show you how much we really do like our jobs, thats our downfall.
