HZ123, pigs don't bleat, not sure about suffed pigs, though.
Maybe they were sheep and the cat got their goat, or something
I love mixed metaphors.

Why are you so down on pilots?

On your $100 fare they get something between $5 and $8 depending on which side of the pond, and similar geographic distinctions. That is for BOTH pilots.
When the aircraft starts to shake rattle and roll, or funny noises, smoke, or flame and sparks start happening, and the cabin gets all hushed, it is astounding how quickly those "busdrivers" are upgraded. That is when they earn their pay.
And you begrudge them what is, in effect, less than your most miserly executives tip at any decent restaurant. Shame on you.
