I have to wonder why a professional mechanic would want to work for $38K to $50K a year and struggle at life.

you're right in the range U workers live at....
besides,many live and raise families on much less with a happy outlook on life .

To me they are selling themselves short. Add that and a crummy pension. In ten years I just want to ask them "Hey! How did that work out for you?â€￾ I pretty much already know the answer now though.

not so if timmy is the only game in town....pull up and move for a few dollars more??
move to someplace you don't really want to be with a new mortgage and the bottom falls out of the aviation market....
i'll stay here for mere pittance....

Airways started the race to the bottom. Now Northwest and Delta are following. Life will not get better for awhile and to think it all started at Airways with a 'yes' vote. It is getting very hard to tell an Airways employee from someone who works at Wal-Mart or Home Depot.

delldude,
I don't blame you for not moving for a couple of dollars more. I do blame the ones that are capable of making more than that though. I mean why stay? That area is not all that nice.
