Love to fly too much to give it up? Well, no different than being a crack addict... why should a crack dealer give you a discount (airline management pay you more) when you're willing to pay the top dollar for a fix (willing to accept and continue working for poverty wages)?
Comparing pilots to crack addicts might be a little stretch, dontcha think? I wouldn't leave a crack addict alone with my sister. Oh, wait a second.... I wouldn't leave her alone with a pilot either. Oh, never mind. I see what you mean!
