High Glam High Pay = Airline Pilot

[Green]

i guess i missed that. If you click on the link to the left for Airline Pilot it tells the story of a UAL captain who commuted to work in his own "personal jet." They go on to say that he helped secure a 28 percent raise for UAL pilots. I assumed the article was written just after 2000 when pilots at Ual, Dal, AAA, etc were able to make 300k per year with plenty of time off. Back then the job was glamorous. Back then a place like Fedex was a great place to work, but definitely not top tier and most people considered SWA to be underpaid. Getting a job at Fedex or SWA in 2000 was not like today where you've got the winning lottery ticket.

I was just pointing out how much this industry has changed and if the article was using old data then the HIGH GLAM, HIGH PAY designation might no longer apply to us considering the average salary has been cut in half. Not to mention the reduction in benefits.

Where's fighter pilot on this list?

Tucked safely in the middle, right above gay porn star and just below male runway model. And about 10 spots below HERC DRIVER. If you don't know, you better axe somebody!

It's still a glamorous job, if you hang out at the Fox Bar with me and my swinging brother Yurgi.

I made a couple hundred grand last year and live in a pretty tight knit community of successful people, but I honestly think most of the guys would trade jobs with me in a heartbeat even if they made less money. I know the doctors in my area are making about a third less than they were 10 years ago and the lawyers/businessmen are working 70-80 hour weeks. (At least that is what their wives keep telling my wife.) The true money studs in my area right now are homebuilder types even though most of them haven't spent a day in college, but they all say that game is feast or famine every few years.
I think if we lived in a pure socialist society and every job paid the same 50k regardless of what it was, short of photographer for Victoria's Secret, I would still pick to do what I am doing.

Brokeback Mountain, right?

Ah, yes, that wonderful place where Starlifter pilots are free to love each other, wear dresses, put on makeup, and shop for shoes without fear and discrimination. Or was that the movie about cowboys? Can't remember....

I think there are a few other assorted pilots in there also.
