319DRIVER - Way to defend. You had guts going with SKB.

Yadda, Yadda, Blah, Blah, Blah - I know these forums have tenderized the meat of the SKB subject.

Yet isn't life a passion, about being apart of something different, something innovative. All *hoboes* who take the ultra conservative route (aka an 'established' airline - I am humble, I include myself here) will be setting themselves up for ultimate failure. Happiness is doing what you love.

*Pay* (salary) is determined by Supply an Demand - People will work for less if they love the job. Police officers, teachers, millitary personnel: these people make a d-i-f-f-e-r-e-n-c-e in our lives and are paid pennies.

B727DRVR - Thanks for setting the record straight on MULCHER. It is easy to talk from a pedistal. Come down here in the dirt with me. I have nothing to loose. You have everything.

MULCHER - I know that you have worked hard, dang hard for what you have achieved. Standing up for what is right - appropriate pay - is important. I too cannot believe the paygrades out there. Yet did you not start this career starving, AND happy; knowing it was a long shot to be paid well to do this job? Don't fault anyone for taking a chance. You know not from which they came. Your comments come across as prideful - one of the seven deadly sins.
