I love it.. It's about time that press doesn't concentrate on the 20 year senior 777 Capt, but the folks who get paid peanuts. My speculation is that she works for Kakaska.. :) BAHA Fan of Car Talk.. -----Original Message----- From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gerard M Foley Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 6:19 PM To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Airline Pilot's Pay A couple of weeks ago a woman called the NPR program "The Car Guys" saying she lived near Anchorage, AK. She said she was a pilot for a "major airline", and was being transferred, and would be based at San Francisco. She said rents were so high there that she was planning to live in a vehicle parked in the airport lot, and wanted advice on what to buy for the purpose. At the end of the call she asked "What is the difference between a pizza and a pilot's pay?" The answer, she said, was "A pizza can feed a family of four".
