Oakum Boy, a Bus Driver is responsible for more people than we are. Even the cute chick checking seat security on the roller coasters at NYNY is responsible for just as many lives as we are and she is only making minium wage. The debate about pilots making big bucks because we are responsible for so many lives is almost as pitful as the debat that pilots should make the same as Doctors. A school crossing guard is responsible for the lives of hundreds of children each day and they don't make squat! All a pilot is responsible for is his/her own butt. If he/she gets her own butt transported safely, then the rest of the people do also. Same responsibility whether you are a CFI doing a photo flight with 2 customers or a 747 Captain with 400 passengers.

You are comparing the pilot job to a rollercoaster seat-checker, or bus driver, who, in the event of: engine failure, smoke, fire, electrical failure, icing, and whatever other sh1t you could only imagine- only have to pick up a telephone, or pull over to the curb? I pray never to ride on your airplane. I'm sure you're quite a pro. Just ask all the deceased "he/she" pro's who haven't gotten their butts to their destination; tell me what they think their paycheck should be worth.

I'm sure you'd be happy with a school crossing guard in command of your Atlantic crossing while you happily dine and sleep in your non-revenue seat. Get it, Aristotle?
