So, he makes less than $39,000 per year to run that entire department at the biggest airport in the country?

I live in the 3rd safest country in the world! Yes, I don't get a shoot when I leave my door to work, like in the US.
I live in the European Best Destination of the Year for the last three years. My country is considered one of the country's with a better lifestyle in the world, no stress, best gastronomy (Mediterranean) on the planet and one of the cheapest places to eat.
My country have the oldest navy on the planet, the same navy that discovered South America, oh yea, was not a Italian like they teach you, Italians didn't even had ships back in the days.
And I'm proud to say my country have financial difficulties, by then I know, my country is not killing innocent people (Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Vietnam, ect) in the name of democracy and peace, just to get there resources to buy me a lifestyle.
Guess you got schooled son. -

American salaries don't make sense to any other developed countries, like their use of imperial measurement.
In Canada such an administrator would make a hell of a ton more.
Those foolish enough to move from canada to america increase the average I.Q. of both countries -

Here's the thing most of you are missing. Tucci's character probably works well over 40 hours a week. However, a position like his is a salary position so he doesn't get paid per hour. So he could be making a good amount of money but when you break down the number of hours he works in a year, the per hour rate is lower.

YOU NAILED IT! Many "supervisors" are paid a flat rate and wind up working 50-60 hours a week, so, they make "less per hour" than their underlings!
And, they know what they are "making" per hour.
Happens all the time. That's how organizations can afford good supervisors. If they paid by the hour, no one could afford them. So, they would have to settle for lesser managers. Somehow, it works. -

Really old thread but the movie really missed the mark on what the CBP Field Commissioner would make. Quick google research shows that the position may have been incorrectly referenced or has changed in title since the movie was made in 2004. The "Kennedy Airport Airlines Management Council" website (
http://www.kaamco.org/main/?page_id=319
) shows that Susan Mitchell is CBP's Port Director at JFK. In 2014, Susan Mitchell earned a salary of $181,500 based on the Executive Schedule (ES).

I'm gonna call it for what it is, a mistake during the writing process. There is no way a man in such a position of power at an airport would have made so little, even when adjusted for 2004 dollars. I literally googled this quote to see if anyone else had raised the topic because of how ridiculous it sounded.
