Right on! Sometimes the hardest sell is to ourselves. We all would like to see the world as we would like and not how it actually is.

I try to share my experiences as well. Sometimes it works but most of the time it does not.

Can you explain the scenario where an FAA controller retires and collects $100,000 per year in retirement pension?

Remember how wrong the media can be with Airline Pilot salaries, I would take these payscales with a grain of salt. But if these are true representations of actual pay for the different professions, then WOW!
