I just can't seem to develop a link in my head between pilot poor pay and safety performance.

I guess if Michael Moore says so there must be something rotten.

But aren't all pilots motivated to save themselves as well as their passenger's or is there a suicidal urge somewhere to end it all?

Based on what I have read I thought that safety was supposed to be tied to the money grubbing big businesses sending out our airplane tied together with speed tape. But if Michel is on to something could we as passengers just add in a few bucks per ticket each and guarantee that our crew is well fed and happy enough to fly the damn plane.

Perhaps there should be a tip jar at the exit doors to ensure our money is well spent and that we survived long enough to reward the crew.

I'll get my coat I was just leaving
