As someone else already wrote...overtime needs to be factored in. If the IRS considers it income, I do to.

I guess I missed the day in school where they showed irrefutable proof that there is a linear relationship between a mechanic's salary and the overall safety of the airline. If that's the case, how can you possibly have been justified in flying anyone but NWA, since NW has had the highest-paid mechanics for awhile now. I guess all the other airlines are unsafe.
