Median income for the US is around 50K. That makes us above average wage earners in the US. I fear that this article is a precursor to the Obama administrations attempt to take over more sectors of the economy. We will be lumped in with executives and medical specialists as overpaid and greedy. He will limit pay as part of a TARP like bailout package for certain favored carriers. The government will then own those carriers.

Don't think it could happen? Just ask the people at GM, Chase, Citi, and BofA. Think just because we have a union that O will give us a sweetheart deal like the UAW? Just look up how much the UAW has given the Dems over the years vs ALPA. Follow the money!

Thanks to Pitts for posting the above links and stats. His post beat mine on the time line but reinforces my point. We are already the enemy in the eyes of this government. It is only a matter of time before they come after us.
