I have never seen profit sharing work. I prefer better pay per hour and I'll save my own money.

I like to eat healthy on the road. Which contrary to popular opinion, isn't that hard, nor expensive. I've commuted for over 10 years, the less crap I gotta cary on me, the better. Which means other than Cliff bars, I don't pack my own food.

As stated previously, see an earlier post. What I was getting at was that I couldn't spend $650 on overnights in a month. But that's just me. For the guys that need to splurge everywhere, whatever.

Same reason that your income is taxed by the fed, the state, and some places county or city, then hit with sales tax (and if you are buying liquor you don't want to know how many extra layers of the "base price" are actually taxes that you then get hit with sales tax paying on THAT tax)

The airlines just leave you all used up at the end of the month.

The "miraculous rejuvination" is when you pretend there will be a pilot shortage at the majors.
