Trust issues or not, you guys crack me up! At the very least, thanks for the entertainment! And thanks to those of you who responded to my e-mail. I'm still holding onto hope that Puckhead will come around...

I think the biggest misconception that needs to be cleared up is we don't make tons of money. This calendar year, flying for a regional airline, I will make about $21,000 BEFORE taxes. Most of us are dirt poor. A few get lucky and make it to that 6-figure dream job... but don't let the uniform fool you into thinking we are all well off. MOST of us are just struggling to pay the bills, going without a meal because we can't afford it or sleeping on the crew room couch because we can't afford a crash pad/hotel room.

The finished product.

Plus, advice from flight attendants.

And who's really flying your airplane.
