Oh, where to start. As a prior USAF pilot and ten year lazy, overpaid, rotund government slob; I offer the following Mr./Ms. Roadrunner:

1-Life in the military was very easy and the food was delicious. We were paid at least three times what the airline pilots received, and those extended tours of duty to protect fine folks such as yourself were no hardship at all.

2-My current gig entails 140-150 nights on the road per year; or roughly three weeks out of every month (I do get to fly home on the weekends). As with my military time, I am again paid at least three times what my open market counterparts receive. The best part is that all we really do is sit around all day talking about our generous benefits package (there is a modicum of truth to that), smoke cigarettes, order out for lunch since we are too lazy and ignorant to drive, drink coffee, etc. Oh, around 4 P.M. or so one of us will amble over and fetch a broom. Then we will sit and argue over who has to sweep up before we head out at 4:15 P.M. to avoid traffic.

3-Fact of the matter is that I have squirreled up a massive amount of frequent flyer miles, primarily since I fly on Y class tickets and get comped to FC virtually all of the time, anyway. With the pending legislation to allow us gubment employees (notice that I did not write workers) keep our miles; we will be flying FC to Europe this summer and staying in awesome hotels for free. And we will be laughing at you, Roadrunner! Laughing! Fetch your nine, son! Bust a cap in my porky gubment rear! Write your Congressman!

Oh wait, I forget. He will be out flying FC somewhere too. Just to build up miles at your expense. Oh, man. Roadrunner. You need to do something about this.
