(The last time an employee of an airline wanted to show me something it was her written reprimand for eating an in-flight meal without paying for it. "Yes," she said, "we have to pay for our own meals on board now.") Moore doesn't like paying, yet the pilots should be paid more money.
Such an idiot.
To: ozguy
I call total BS. Moore is a master of misleading propaganda.
Check out Airline Pilot Central. It has pay scales of Capts and FO for the different airlines.

Isn’t it against the law for airlines to advertise their safety record? What if it weren’t? What if you could pay twice as much to fly on a ten times as safe airline?

I thought the same thing... This is too good to be true for Moore who will no doubt spin this into more money, that evil capitalist..

It seems this poor fellow [pilot] had taken three sick days in the past year. The letter was a warning not to take another one -- or else.Or else what?
If this letter does in fact exist he or his union has grounds for a lawsuit. Or even more intimidating to the company, an FAA judgment.
The FAA would love to hear about it, since that kind of pilot-pushing is blatantly illegal.

Havent looked at that site, but the pay scales vary a great deal, depending on what type of airline the pilot flies for. The “bigs” like United, etc. pay fairly well, but the regionals like United Express, Delta Connection, Horizon, and so forth, pay darn little. New pilots get on with the regionals and build time toward moving up to the “bigs”.
I still would doubt anything Moore says, though, just on principle. I’d be very surprised if that swine even flies commercial at all. He seems like the Gulfstream Liberal type to me.

I did.
As much as I hate to agree with this big fat jerk, it's true that beginning pilots make slave wages.
You get what you pay for. Just don't fly with a regional airline that pays those kind of wages, especially if the weather is bad.
Oh wait, good luck with that. The code-sharing agreements nowadays almost always have the low-time pilot 'commuter airlines' feeding passengers to the bigger hubs, so it's not so easy to avoid flying on them.

Sorry. This stuff goes on all the time. The FAA does not get involved.

I am going to hate myself for saying this, but Moore is correct on this one. I have almost 30 years in the industry. Now I am going to take a shower and wash my mouth out with soap.

"I have a second job!," the two pilots said in unison. One is a substitute teacher. The other works in a coffee shop. You know, maybe it's just me, but the two occupations whose workers shouldn't be humpin' a second job are brain surgeons and airline pilots. Call me crazy. Well, if scum like Moore force government run health care down our throats, doctors may have to work two jobs also.
