Help Feed Air Force Pilots
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 bonus if they are forced to wait for Congress to pass needed legislation. Congress is just "sitting" on much-needed legislation to increase the pilot bonus (ACP) to $22K per year, and while we wait, our pilots are going without any bonus payments at all!!!
But now you can help. For $423 dollars a week ~ that's less than the price of a 25" television set ~ you can help keep a pilot economically viable during their time of need. Four hundred twenty three dollars a week 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, $423. is nothing more than half a month's rent or mortgage payment. But to a pilot, 423. dollars a week is their God-given right for the hardships of having to fly a sleek fighter or a mission-critical transport plane as opposed to that old commercial airline between LaGuardia and Atlanta. $423. per week 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 pilot 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 salary when they eventually separate to take a commercial aviation job.
"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.
