Skyhigh, this is why so many of us have thought you're out to lunch. The fact is there are many other jobs guys with our brains and skills can do for a good wage with some upward mobility. You insist the pilot proffesion will never pay high wages again. I disagree because of the competing careers out there. Time will tell. Wish the Alaska pilots luck. We are going to try to stop the slide with our next contract. We start negotiations now.
