He brags about making $30,000 to the Wichita Aero Club (Whatever that is) and people think "Wow- thats a lot of money!". However no one has a base in ICT, the bases are in NY,DC,Chicago, LA which allows you to buy nothing on $30,000 a year.

Seriously Roger (and I know you're reading this because you are a megalomaniac who needs to feed off of his press junkets) give that SAME speech to the Aero Club of DC. Put on your nice suit and speak in front of the mover and shakers in the Air and Space Museum, and say "You can make $30,000 a year". They'll laugh you out of the building! Hell, the janitor cleaning up after the event makes about $50,000 - He'll be laughing too!

That's what is particularly sad about the current state of things. He boasts about starting pay being 30k per year, which he knows is a complete lie...yet even his falsified beginning salary is horribly low.

This just reminds us all how important it is to support the ALPA PAC so that our voice is heard just as much if not more over his.

Alpa > ALPA PAC

Gee how many other low paying careers could you use that for:

"They're paying you to feed a Lion, and that's pretty cool" (zookeeper)

"They're paying you move volatile petrochemicals under pressure into a motorized device, and that's pretty cool" (gas pumper)

"They're paying you to perform a good ole' fashion hippy beating and Taze a fleeing suspect, and that's pretty cool" (security guard)

"They're paying you to handle highly sensitive financial instruments and federal currency under pressure, and that's pretty cool" (bank teller).
