Taking to the Friendly Skies Ain’t So Friendly Anymore…

After seeing Micheal Moore’s movie last night “Capitalism – A Love Story,” I was shocked to learn that pilots are more than underpaid ($15,000-25,000 per year) — some of them even openly admitted to rely on food stamps, because their salary is not enough for them to eat. I feel for them mane, that sucks! Know why? Because they have dozens of lives in their hands, each and every day they fly a commercial jet.
It’s plain to see why many of these pilots would potentially be suffering from stress – given the fact that they’re working for such corrupted corporations. I mean, while airlines like Delta are racking in hundreds of millions of dollars a year, some of their pilots are forced to seek second jobs…just to make ends meet!!!
It’s no wonder why we hear of so many pilots flying planes while allegedly being drunk…these poor underpaid and overworked pilots got issues!!! Other than Michael Moore, no one seems to really give a fuck!!! That is…until there’s yet another airplane crash. Big three reporters are quick to point their fingers at dubbed ‘delinquent pilots’ with bottles to their mouths. But, I guess somebody’s gotta be the fall guy. The real culprit behind such tragic events (like the crash we all witnessed on the news early this year in Buffalo, NY) are the CEO’s of the airlines who aren’t taking care of their own. Notice that news reports NEVER mention how stressed and underpaid these pilots are! In other words it’s the airlines who are to blame for these crashing planes. (more…)
