I was looking at flights this Am, thinking about a last minute trip to Vegas. Now that I know JS7 won't be there, I'm definitely staying home.

I would guess that his salary from Kawasaki not including bonuses would be more like $1.2 Million. Plus Gear and personal sponsors of course. You just forgot the decimal...
