You realize if the Republicans truly had their way, you'd be lucky making $150k in the left seat of a 777, right? And our airlines would be based overseas using foreign crew similar to the cruise ship industry. Read: Zero job security.
You need to thank your lucky stars for the left base that keeps your wages high and the airplanes registered here in the USA.
It never ceases to amaze me how many airline pilots are right wing toadies. The truth of the matter is we're all just blue collar labor and the airlines will do ANYTHING to minimize their labor costs.
