I know I'm no Mesa pilot, but explain to me just how 19/20 is 100%.

Easy, 19/20 is 95%. If you subtract 95 from 100, you get 5%. The starting pay at Mesa is $22 times 5% is $1 plus $22 is....gasp! $23.

I'm highly doubting over the phone. Do they even have phones?

How do you say '709' in Mesopotamian Arabic?

How many times does he have to take the ATPFlightSchool jet class?

I don't want to be clicked so ill just stop.

I just keep laughing thinking about this. An Iraqi Fighter pilot? Via email or skype? Wowza. Could you imagine if the talking heads at CNN got ahold of this?
