I’m at a loss for words every time an airline pilot compares his income to Walmart greeters, McDonald’s cooks, and the rest of the country instead of his peers. You’re an airline pilot in the US. Compare your income to other US airline pilots flying the same or similar equipment. It’s not about being the highest paid person in the country. It’s about being paid what you deserve for what YOU do. It doesn’t matter if you live within your means and have what you want. It’s about getting paid less for doing the same job flying the same equipment.
