What a shame it is that every profession listed above earns significantly more today except for the airline pilot. Keep in mind these pilots were flying maybe 15 to 30 passengers at a time? Not the average of about 170 they do today.LJ-ABX said:From the Inflation Calculator: http://www.westegg.com/inflation/
