Don’t forget to tip your airline pilot!

I just came across this from a couple of months ago:

StraightForward Media Blog Blog Archive Don’t forget to tip your airline pilot!

Looks like some people are starting to pay attention. Check out the Starbucks manager salary web page.

Darn.

$31,000 a year. Thats good money. I made $21,500 in my first year as a regional pilot. Must be at Horizon or Air Whiskey.

Make sure you read some of the comments. Number 12 from Tara is especially entertaining. Oh and I have almost hit my year mark and will be lucky to hit 20K....

I don't believe that "Tara" is actually a pilot. Sounds more like someone posing to be a pilot to give themselves more cred.
This is such a good blog post, I wish we could splay it on the front page of USA Today. Some people won't care, but I know others will. Unfortunately nowadays we are at the point where those of us who didn't get furloughed (yet) are supposed to feel lucky enough.
as for the income.. in Bridget's response, she says it's her FOURTH year at her airline, so 31k is actually her 4th year pay. *shaking head*
