Jobs that let you work less, earn more.

So even so... What is work? Obviously they don't count sitting around on company time work, just flying as work. Not exactly a fair way to look at it.

Actually it is. That is what you work. As far as the waiting to work, that's why you have per diem and duty rigs. You're not at home on your couch, but waiting around at the terminal is not exactly work either. That's part of our job description which you sign up for. A lot of down time also comes from commuting which the company is not responsible for either.

Pilot jobs

Funny thing when I lost my job last winter I posted my resume on Career Builder. One of the keys words I used was pilot. I got 76 job responses. Man I was ready to put the suit and go interview. Turned out they were all at the chain of Pilot Truck stops in the Midwest, everything from cashier, janitorial services and short order cook. I decided not to interview. So much for job web sites.

There are as many or more regional pilots than mainline pilots now though

Sadly, this is a sign management has won...

You forgot copilots and flight engineers, they're part of the figure too.

Yeah! managing those guys is work! Keeping the F/Os from porking the F/As, and making sure the S/O has enough Depends and Geritol is pure he11
