$106,153.00 :lol: Are they kidding me. What about the young lady who lost her life(God Bless her) in the Buffalo Dash 8 crash making 16,000 a year working two jobs. They should be looking at those salaries and the pilots stressed out working 2-1/2 jobs two make ends meet. :idea:

"God bless her"?? What about the poor basterds strapped into the back seats with NO clue of the simple fact that the pilots couldn't even fly!??

Well obviously I feel the same way for the rest of the victims. My point being the underpaid pilot sitting in the right seat making peanuts working two jobs. I'm sure she felt some sort of stress going to work everyday. The flight crews inexpierence and salaries could be and should be another post.
