Ok Bob,
I'll talk to you. If we are the top 5% of all wage earners, then fine. But, what are we when you factor in that we are away from home for up to two-thirds of the month. I'm sure our ranking goes way down at that point. I'm sure we also fall in the rankings when you factor in degrees, professional experience, and time with company when you compare pay.
What I'm saying is that for us in the real world it is pretty sorry that someone can work for a company for 20-25+ years, be gone from home more than twice what the average 9-5 worker is, be exposed to a harmful environment, and still make less than a lot of nurses, radiation therapist, and air traffic controllers, ect.
What we are saying is that is is pretty pathetic that someone can go to college for four years, build up time flight instructing or flying in the millitary for 6+ years or working for the commuters for 5+ years, then to get a job at the "majors" and make less than a manager at Walmart.
Join us here in the real world as we express our discontent.
