When are you people going to realize that just because you love you job of flying they should still pay you.
You are one medical or one mistake away from never flying again and you are risking it all for $30/hour.
Regional jobs are no longer stepping stone jobs. The majors have turned them into careers, and you should approach it that way. We are all one economic disaster from furlough, downgrade, or bankruptcy.
75k isn't enough? Seriously? the only way 25k over the national average income isn't enough is if your are buying everything on credit. You've got to change your lifestyle dude. Live within your means. Save money so when you do lose your job it's no big deal man. You won't maybe lose your job you WILL lose it. Start preparing dude!
