$100,000/year is barely enough to live the American dream these days (I don't even make that). We all need to make more money. We gave way too much back in the bankruptcies. It's time to recoup some of that. The company is making money. Pay me.
It is not attacking anyone. It restating what the captain's I am flying with are stating. I agree that some have wives that are well educated. Some can stay at home with the broad, and some can't. It a lot different today for the junior lot than it was a few decades ago.
If you are a WB fo, go pick the brains of your Captain about his home life. Most guys I fly with just offer it. I guess they feel like explaining why they are flying four and five WS with a GS or two a month.
