Wow.
You really shouldn't post numbers like these on public message boards. Some manager will see this and feel justified in the fact that we make way too much money just sitting there pushing buttons and ask for more givebacks.
By the way my numbers look very much the same, I wonder why the press never references stuff like this when quoting airline pilot pay?
