Still on the Job, but at Half the Pay |
Hey, at least he has a job. Though I'm surprised captains in that airline only make $70k. Look at Cathay Pacific, Singapore Air.. Even here, several friends I know have had to take pay cuts (though nowhere near as drastic; more like 10%) to stay employed. Gotta do what you gotta do to survive. |
I got 35% cut this year, no benefit and no salary increase next yr, and yes, I will leave the fucking shit hole once the economy gets better. Fuck skytrain |
Only people with no skill and balls take a pay cuts. |

I'm having a hard time finding a job, just be glad u'r still working |
The demotion, the loss of command, the cut in pay...have diminished Mr. Lawlor, 34, in his own eyes...adding that his wife does not want to be married to a pilot with so little earning power. Seriously? Talk about your penis being tied up in your wallet. |

I would seriously feel demoralized with my pay was cut in half. Then again, I would expect my wife to stand by my side and fight through it with me. The article seems to go back and forth on this matter. It contradicts itself a few times and alludes to things that are contrary to what it said before. |
In terms of % I think I took a big hit. About 70% of my wage last year was not given to me this year. Thank God for base plus commission. If it wasn't for base I think I'd be making worse than minimum wage. |

Math correction.......... bang 100% more. I just think the editor or reporter got it wrong. |
Love is being tied to money, as it has always been. A lot of marriages nowadays are more like business relationships. When everything goes well, then it's all good. When things go bad for one party, the other party will go find a new business partner. It's sad but true. |

That's balls for taking the humiliation and staying with the job to support his family IMHO. |

Is it really that bad in the US? Seems like a lot of people are hurting....we're lucky to live in Canada where it's not as bad. I'd take a reasonable pay cut to stay employed though. |

So much for brotherhood and sisterhood. Anyway getting off topic, again. |
Those CEO's of mega corporations should forfeit their multi-million dollar salaries/bonuses and do what the CEO of Japan Airlines did. http://digg.com/business_finance/Jap...han_Pilots_VID http://www.glenntilton.com/newsartic...ilots-cnn.html |

In our society, a job is a job and nothing more. I like what we have here (to an extent). |
I'm sorry to see that his pay was cut...but their combined income is over $70,000 US...and that is not exactly starvation wages...specially in the US with way lower taxes and th e baility to cliam stuff like your mortgage interest payments etc. The way he is talking I would not feel safe flying with him...specially as a Captain. How about finding a second job for all the down time that he has? That should help his wife's ego. |
