If it helps the airline = my job, then I will gladly pick up trash. Luckily, my ego isn't over-inflated quite yet.

Pilots have had their salaries and retirement cut in half over the past 10 years due to no fault of their own. Meanwhile management intentionally has been short staffing airlines (aircraft cleaners)(less expense, more bonus for them) and stuffing their pockets with wads of cash. Bonuses for losing 200 million instead of 250 million. Brilliant.

If I wanted to pick up trash I would fly corporate. When I see the CEO, on a daily basis, cut his salary and golden parachute in half, and come take trash out of the airplanes, then I will start taking out the trash too. But only if it truly helps the airline.

It's not an ego thing. It's basic "treat your employees right 101." How many surgeons clean the poop/vomit out of an ER? How many accountants are asked to go unclog a toilet? How many airline execs come to the ramp and help throw bags on short staffed holidays (except for the 5 minute photo op on thanksgiving of course)

Just love the anti-Fox news folks...you've got at least 5 network/cable channels going full steam with half-truths and negative commentary to steer the public where they want the country to go and all we hear about is how far right Fox is...yeah, right.

Try PBS, or NPR.

No half-truths, or negative commentary.

It's scary to think what this country would be like without Fox, counterparts provide the perspective and people decide where the sincere, honest truth exists.

The line between Hollywood Entertainment and Credible Journalism is, in my opinion, non-existent and I for one fear the day that ANY social circle can clout their influence above the voice of the American people.


Oh yeah, and they probably shouldn't have beat up that cab driver.
(Just to stay on topic)

What the h%ll is wrong with you folks... Fox News VS. MSNBC?!!! They are all wrong, too far left or too far right.

I get all the news I need on the Colbert Report..."truthiness" it's all I need.
