A pilot can wipe out a year's worth of inflation with a single Greenie. Now if a pilot is more flexible, enterprising and willing to "make hay while the sun is shining" one can set a solid foundation to build wealth.

So Trip...you say "folks talk about inflation" as if it is no big deal? Please explain! Should I pick up more green slips, work more, spend more of my priceless and limited time on this planet with my family to work more?

What about my friends who are on a teacher salary?

Inflation is a BIG deal to the 95% of Americans not making a pilot salary! I guess we will find out this year how Americans feel after the elections but please don't trivialize it. GS costs can be significant unless you are single with no kids
