What a joke

 

[LaGarbage Man]

Yeah I believe they can "Bite Me" !!!

 

[ditchpilot]

Over paid with a huge carbon foot print!

Well, besides the fact that the whole premise if that article is stupid, they aren't completely wrong. We do make a lot in exchange for the amount of work we do. I think most people that don't realize this haven't ever been "out there" in a non aviation job.

I'm not complaining...but we have a lot to be thankful for.

I never thought I would hear a pilot say such things.

Hey, I can be honest. We have a good job. That's nothing to be ashamed of!

a pilot gave her a night to remember (the author) and then forgot to call her back.

 

[Boxboy]

Everyone has an opinion and an a$$hole! Facts are what matter and this author has zero.

Imagine if this lady knew what a senior FedEx guy made

Imagine if this lady knew what a senior FedEx guy made

And a senior FedEx guy makes squat compared to even a rookie pro sports player, or a moderately successful entertainment "celebrity".

EMTs, Cops, Firefighters and teachers have such important and hard jobs but make chicken feed. Sad what our society values.

I could write that article with a few hours of google searching, a copy of MS word and a basic command of grammar. I'd like to invite her to take my next PC.

 

[Tripower455]

Well, we do "get" to travel!

You are misinformed on the compensation packages of cops, firefighters and teachers.

 

[Jetjockey]

Overpaid is the person who gets money for writing that tripe. Probably took her 10 minutes.

If you click on the job title, it actually isn't just Pilot. It is Captain/Pilot in Command (Large Jet)

 

[JetMonkey]

I'd bet after saving his a$$ in a life or death inflight emergency, he'd think I don't get paid enough!

 

[8v8ter]

The relative "high" pay we receive is not for what we do now flying state of the art equipment, but for the years of training and gathering experience flying crappy dangerous stuff to be qualified to fly the easy stuff now.

 

[Hamfighter]

Pilot vs. EMT? I became an EMT taking a class a couple nights a week at the local junior college over the summer of my senior year of high school. Not quite a fair comparison of required training and skills.

I'd say the ultimate guage of whether a job pays too much, or too little is this..............

If you have one job, and 10 applicants, it pays too much.

If you have 10 jobs, and only 1 applicant, then it doesn't pay enough. This is where we are headed, so I think it's pretty much self explainatory.

I don't think we are headed there. The regionals are headed there, but the majors aren't going to have a problem. It just won't be as lopsided. Even now, Delta has thousands of applications on file, and they aren't even hiring!
