"For God's sake, Amber. Have you no sense of decency? That bathroom's like a war crime."

For the record, things like the ball pit and climbing tubes were not removed for hygiene. They were removed because they couldn’t be separately monetized by Chuck E Cheese. It cost kids nothing to climb in the tube or jump in the ball pit. By getting rid of those and putting in new games and rides, Chuck E Cheese added more things that kids have to put money into in order to play/enjoy it.

Don’t you have problems with other random passengers on the plane poking their fingers in your mouth when you do this?

So true! Governments the world over still haven’t figured out form-fillable PDFs.

Median pilot salary is about $134k, so it seems pretty comparable. But, to be a pilot you first have to incur tens-of-thousands of dollars in training costs to get sufficient time in a plane to get your pilot’s license, then even more tens-of-thousands in costs to get your instrument rating, then even more tens-of-thousands to get your multi-engine rating, etc…. Some airlines have programs that will pay for many of these costs, but then you are under contract with that airline (which is often a little regional carrier like Horizon) for 5+ years where you will be worked to the maximum allowed for a fairly meager salary (sub $45k for lots of hours).
