Engg4life, I don't really understand what you are arguing about.
You seem to be upset about the salary-difference between pilots and other personnel. Nobody here is talking about, or is interested in communist stuff about who deserves to be paid more.
Yes, we consider ourselves lucky.
Yes, sorry for maintenance people who earn less.
Sorry for all those other people who earn less.
Now what? Does that make you feel better? Or do you just want to pour oil into the fire here? We're discussing about employment at KQ on this thread.
