I agree. I realize that some people must make do with the little money they have. Like the FO's at a crap regional that make crap wages. I feel bad for these guys and sometimes wish I could offer them a starbucks without embarassing them.

What always amazes me though are the captains that make over 100 k per year and pack all their food with them because they are too cheap to pay for anything on the road. I will never understand what makes many pilots some of the cheapest people on the face of the earth. Thoughts anyone ?
