Just because I don't subscribe to your liberal social views, doesn't make me a sexist.. I (and my wife) just have a different (and I believe better for us) set of values. Call me what ever names you like, it only shows that you are carrying around some kind of internal guilt when you act out that way as far as I'm concerned.

You've already gone a lot further than that in your PM.. Thanks there for the calm down... What was your soft spot? the part about my wife staying at home? Did I push the wrong buttons on that for ya? Or was it the fact that I was defending our profession and how some think it's well paid and trying to explain to this guy that his perspective is wrong.
Glad you're company pays well, but most of the rest have a long way to go.. And don't think you're immune from pay cuts if everyone else starts to think $50K is a good living. I'm personally set for other reasons, but that's not the same for a lot of others. I know too many people that work too hard for the crap they earn..
Your turn, and please try to be constructive to the debate.

Yes, I have internal guilt, whatever. Of course your wife doesn't have a problem staying at home. That's how a lot of women are. If you have a job and kids, you double your work. If you stay at home and have kids, you have half the work AND someone else is providing for you. Why anyone would want someone to take care of them is beyond me, but that's how (unfortunately) a lot of women are.
You are right though, to each his own. At least I know that if I get divorced I don't have to drag him to court for alimony because I can't take care of myself.

Remember, this thread is about income and supporting one's family.. In the end, I was trying to make the point that in most places in this country TODAY (now when we grew up)... $100K isn't enough to do what a typical middle class family needs. I know in our case $100K is about what we spend before savings just to live in a safe neighborhood, furnish our home, put two kids thru school, and drive two safe cars... with money left over for food, and an occasional small vacation.
Ok.. flame away..

OMG! Yeah, I'm going to bar you from UPS. I'm crazy but not that immature. GMAFB!
Noone, male or female should have a job JUST because of their gender so at least we agree on something.

What comparison are you making? Payscales are on the front page of the website. You don't fly for a regional. Why are you starting a thread called, "Now for an anti-happy pilot post". If you are so unhappy then take a hike. Don't jump in and try and spread your funk around. Your comparison means nothing to anyone here. Who are you? Why do your opinions on payroll to you matter to us? It doesn't belong because you jumped into a regional thread and started talking about regional pay yet with a negative note intended while you don't work for a regional. Your opinions are yours and yours alone. Last thing anyone needs anywhere is someone running around trying to intentionally spread their negative funk on someone else and not plan to do anything about it.
The title to the thread is in reference to everyone's "now for a happy post" I'm not spreading "funk" I am just raising something that was interesting ot me and thought my fellow pilots would like to know. Sorry I didnt add a little smiley face so you could understand sarcasm.
We wanna get into this "who are you" BS, fine. WHO ARE YOU? A CFI right? I don't think there is a thread for you just yet.
I didn't see why everyone thought you were some snot nosed punk, until now.
Regards,
Bravo

Point is, he is single, has a home, a paid off car, and enjoys his salary. All that my point was, was that for someone to do something of his caliber, VS. a pilot who is responsible for hundreds of lives daily, it kinda baffles me. That is all. Now go back to your flaming!
