It's just not right. Thousands of pilots in our very own country
are living at or just below the six figure salary line. And
if that wasn't bad enough, many of them may go several weeks
or months without a paycheck if they are forced by American Airlines
management to strike.
But now you can help. For about three hundred dollars a day ~
that's less than the price of a 25" television set ~ you
can help keep a pilot economically viable during their time
of need. Three hundred dollars a day may not seem
like a lot of money to you, but to a pilot, it could mean the
difference between a vacation fishing in Florida or a Mediteranean
cruise. For you, three hundred dollars is nothing
more than half a month's rent or mortgage payment. But to a
pilot, three hundred dollars a day will almost replace his or her
salary. Three hundred dollars a day will
enable a pilot to upgrade his or her home computer, buy that new
100" television set, trade in the 6 month old Lexus for a Ferrari,
or enjoy a dinner (with champagne) at The Mansion.
"HOW WILL I KNOW I"M HELPING?"
Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the crew
member you sponsor. Detailed information about his or her stocks,
bonds, 401K, and real-estate holdings will be mailed to your
home. You will be able to watch your pilot's net worth grow.
You'll also get information on how they chose to invest their 1.2
million dollar lump sum they get upon their retirement.
"HOW WILL THEY KNOW I'M HELPING?"
Your pilot will be told that he or she has a SPECIAL FRIEND that just
wants to help. Although the pilot won't know your name, he or she
will be able to make collect calls to your home via a special
operator in case they need more funds.
