@PanickedOmlette: You're hellbanned; don't ask me why, I just read HN with the option to see dead users.

Regarding your post, you're wrong about the MEP salaries:

Article 10 of the new Statute sets the amount of the MEPs salary as 38,5 % of the basic salary of a judge at the Court of Justice of the European Communities, thus currently €7,665 before tax.

Besides, I'm pretty sure the EP doesn't rule over the airspace of the member states.

If I'm correct the €30k figure refers to the budget they get to spend of which a large percentage gets spent on (relatively) frivolous expenses.
