Ouch man, that stings!

True, some doors may have been a bit more open because of the route but I really wouldn't say pampered. I always had to work for everything I got and I didn't take shortcuts or look for handouts. Oh and it was quite a financial hit. One to the tune of about 70% less than what I cleared my last year working for our good uncle. Eh, the real world sucks sometimes. But I digress...

I simply don't understand why you disagree with our pay issues at the airlines. In fact it seems like you also deny that we took large wage concessions after 9/11? Why is that? I was recently talking to a friend of mine whose dad is a NWA CA. He was on the verge of crying looking over his yearly financial numbers when he discovered he made more money (unadjusted for inflation mind you) in 1987 than in 2007. It's not even me and I almost wanna cry in sympathy!
