You have to consider the audience; major airline pilots are neither going to get the sympathy of the people that are going to see a billboard, nor will they deserve it. I personally think, like the rest of us in the industry, that we should be paid fairly and in line with our peers. Good luck selling that to Joe Sixpack though
