First of all, I would "Advice" you to learn the difference between hire and hired. I'll put it in the suggestion box to spell check before I submit any other post. Thanks.

Secondly, I did not relinquish the info regarding my salary so that you could brag about your $150k job. But, since you so adamantly brought up how pathetic my $55k/yr Fireman job is, I'll tell you the rest of the story. I also work part-time as a Paramedic= $45k/yr. My wife is a professional Systems Administrator = $80k/yr. That totals $180k per year. According to you, I guess I could retire on that.

Unfortunately, like the others in this group, we do not yet have that sweet $150k/yr MD-80 seat. Unless you know something we dont, looks like we will have to settle for the $24k/yr salary with the regionals. There goes my full-time salary, and my part-time salary. Now perhaps you understand my pain..
