Here's a little something for you all. Pilots. We want our pilots happy right? Because, you know, a hungry, tired, angry, worried pilot is NOT what we want flying our planes. So tell me, WHY are some pilots only making under 17000 PER YEAR?! THIS IS NOT ENOUGH TO LIVE ON!! ESPECIALLY if you have a family. And to make matters worse, some airlines refuse to have their pilots file for welfare. Yep. That's right. "We're only giving you minimum wage, and it won't support your family, but we don't want you getting help from the government because it looks bad on us."
I'm sorry, but uhh....if I were a pilot and not making enough money to survive, I wouldn't be paying attention to landing the plane, I'd be wondering if I could afford to retire before the age of 80.
