I'm well aware that they will eventually get back pay. But as an airline pilot, you're pulling down multiples of what TSA screeners make. It's not exactly a highly skilled, highly compensated job for our best and brightest. A lot of them live paycheck to paycheck, and when those paychecks don't show up, the bills still have to be paid.
