    I got your attention...it's NOT trucking. But it could well be our future.

    This is one of about 5 stories out there now. All from differant airlines.

    Can any of you even imagine taking this deep of a cut in pay? Could you survive if you were asked to?

    Well now, after reading that article, I wonder how much of a cut Michael Brophy, vice president of corporate communications for Midwest Air Group is willing to take in HIS pay?

    $31K? You could make that at Wal-Mart.:biggrin_25510:
    Now I'm wondering if passengers are going to trust their lives to pilots who took that much of a hit to their wallets? It's like they don't have kids to feed or something. But the CEOs don't think about that.
