(The last time an employee of an airline wanted to show me something it was her written reprimand for eating an in-flight meal without paying for it. "Yes," she said, "we have to pay for our own meals on board now.")

Moore doesn't like paying, yet the pilots should be paid more money.

Such an idiot.

I call total BS. Moore is a master of misleading propaganda.

Check out Airline Pilot Central. It has pay scales of Capts and FO for the different airlines.

Isn’t it against the law for airlines to advertise their safety record? What if it weren’t? What if you could pay twice as much to fly on a ten times as safe airline?

It seems this poor fellow [pilot] had taken three sick days in the past year. The letter was a warning not to take another one -- or else.

Or else what?

If this letter does in fact exist he or his union has grounds for a lawsuit. Or even more intimidating to the company, an FAA judgment.

The FAA would love to hear about it, since that kind of pilot-pushing is blatantly illegal.

I am going to hate myself for saying this, but Moore is correct on this one. I have almost 30 years in the industry. Now I am going to take a shower and wash my mouth out with soap.

"I have a second job!," the two pilots said in unison. One is a substitute teacher. The other works in a coffee shop. You know, maybe it's just me, but the two occupations whose workers shouldn't be humpin' a second job are brain surgeons and airline pilots. Call me crazy.

Well, if scum like Moore force government run health care down our throats, doctors may have to work two jobs also.

A good number of pilots have a business on the side. A back up in case of health problems. Insurance. you never know.

Does Michael want our doctors and nurses working two jobs?

His pizza delivery kid nets 21 grand a year?!

As for the pilots, welcome to life in an industry on the rocks. Airlines are losing money hand over fist, lots of people in the industry are taking pay cuts. Unless we as a nation suddenly decide to either travel a lot more, or pay a lot more for the same amount of travel that’s how it’s going to stay until at least 2 or 3 airlines go under.

Hate to say it, but the fat one has a point.

Paying a pilot that low of a wage means they have to have a second or third job. A tired out pilot is a recipe for disaster.

It’s Michael Moore, so it must be a lie.
