Yes. This is an attempt to show off that I can punch numbers in Excel . To counter your engineering career point, I actually started school as an engineering major, but I found I could get out of school sooner with less debt and get a job flying quicker if I went the airline route.

Contrary to what pilots think, other industries suck too. What I am trying to figure out is how much of our small paychecks go towards paying for work. I hope this will make people analyze their pay more so when it comes time to vote on a contract they look beyond simply just the hourly rate.
