I don't think I make to much. I'm worth what I can negotiate. So this pilot is willing to risk everything. Bring it on! If XJT goes away. I'll be making what I'm making now within two years. Yeah, I willn't have the days off but hey I can live with that. Full pay till the last day!
Heck, I'll just enjoy Obama money for two years. While on unenjoyment!
Unfortunately, I'm the minority that didn't put all my eggs in one basket most of these guys live pay check to pay check. So there gonna do what they have too just to survive.
