I do know how touchy some of the other employees are about how much money we make. Sorry, but I don't make any apologies about that. If they wanted to be pilots, or business executives, or doctors, or whatever else pays more than what they make, then they should have pursued it. I certainly don't flaunt it in their face... and I am extremely respectful and professional with all of them. Beyond that, if some of them have a chip on their shoulder about it, there's nothing I can do about that. I'm certainly not going to voluntarily take less pay to make them feel better.
What's up with you today, T? I thought you were a conservative and didn't like socialism?

I don't always agree with everything you post, but I agree wholeheartedly with this. No need to rub anyone's face in it with regards to our pay, but absolutely no need to apologize, either. We are constantly told we are the face of the airline, we have the most invested, and shoulder the most risk. We are underpaid.
