If you could fill a stadium of 20,000 (at fifty plus bucks a pop just for nosebleed seats) 3x a week for me i'd gladly pay you what Allen Iverson or whoever else makes too.

-1. To me that's a symptom of our having our priorities upside-down.
RallyJon - not sure what a "superman thread" is, but for what it's worth I had to leave a major airline due to a vision problem. "Only" 16 years of service, but never saw even one of your "...years of six-figure union-negotiated pay checks." We had new-hire pilots eligible for food stamps and their churches were offering to buy toys for the kids of at least one pilot I flew with. Your info is not consistent with reality. I suggest next time you fly somewhere, please drop into the cockpit - we (used to) like that - and let the pilots know you would like them to have a risk-filled 30 years of work and an $1,100 retirement. Do that *before* you take off.
Jim - I thought we were talking about foam, too.
