Guys, guys (gals). Sky High is just doing his thing. He has 22.3% of a point, that's about it. Don't get bent out of shape. Most mail people are unable to fly jet aircraft nor aspire to. USPS has to pay those salaries because their jobs are phenomenally boring. Airlines pay what they can get away with too. All the mail people I have ever known were total dumbkoffs. They deserve $60k, heck give them $75k.

One of my old students was a postal worker and she was about ready to kill herself. I think there's more to life than money.

For me, I could never stomach a job that boring. But if it floats your boat, why not? She loved her job, and I don't think she ever even considered doing something else or regretted it when it was all over.
I don't think someone getting into the aviation industry has what it takes to work for the Postal Service though. I'm assuming most of you are like me and you love the sheer thrill of flying and the sense of adventure that comes along with it and couldn't even fathom giving it up for a more earth bound job. Most of our personality types would clash heavily in the doldrums of menial office work.
Just my two cents.

Hey, everyone please take a deep breath. This is an internet forum, for crying out loud. Remember what they say about arguing on the internet.
SkyHigh will always be SkyHigh. If you don't like his perspective, don't read it. If you can't help yourself, go ahead and read it, but don't respond immediately with invectives and vitriol.
And for what it's worth, I don't hate SkyHigh. I don't know the guy and it makes no sense to hate someone I don't know. There have been people and trolls and posers who have verbally assaulted me, but I choose not to hate them. I've got better things to do, you know.
Having said that, however, the premise of this thread doesn't quite sit right with me. It is posted in Regional and can be interpreted as a deliberate jab at a soft and vulnerable spot. No redeeming value.

I see this thread going nowhere fast...I think it will be better off working its way into the archives
