Baloney. My interpretation of his statement is not only perfectly valid, it
is strongly supported by Jay's own description of how he communicated to the
other person.

The only interpretation that could change the underlying correctness of his
statements would be to think that Jay was speaking ONLY of the charter
pilots he had personally met, and not only talked to but also obtained
salary information from. There's absolutely no indication that was his
meaning...even Jay himself has not suggested his intent was to restrict his
statement to that group of people.
