I posted the data hours ago. You posted long after mine, but I know you're not much for details or accuracy.

This is from the Department of Labor dude.

Wrong again. Salary only.

Can anybody say...thread drift!

What a bunch of overpaid jet jockeys. That should get you started.
As long as the job in corporate communications is with ALPA...then I'd be making way more than those overpaid jet jockeys.
