You're not on that new special committee are you? Are you getting FPL to post here? Management? Wouldn't that be ironic; responding to "The Manager".
If push came to shove, I could live on 20k. But, I wouldn't drone over thousands of miles of ocean in the middle of the night in a two hundred million dollar jet for that. Hell, if I would have stayed at the regional I came from, I would have broken the $100,000 barrier over a decade ago.
