These guys all have , and continue to receive their military pensions(rightfully earned) and most use Tri-Care vs company insurance also. Again, it is what it is now, but we don't have to like it or respect it.
Back at ya!
NERD,
Once again your socialistic/communistic economic flair is showing. So now you are the one to decide the income level that is too high to allow someone to keep the job that they rightfully earned. The smart pilots amongst us realized early on that the airline industry is a cyclical one and that only the lucky few skate through without a furlough or a company completely going under. The smart ones amongst us diversified our household income streams that flow in and have numerous sources of income. Some that even surpass what we make in the airline industry; not to mention wives with lucrative and successful careers. So, I should give up my job that I have earned in order to help you out because I was smart and now earn too much? You need to move to Venezuala -- I think Hugo Chavez has a job for you as economic czar. Cheers!
