I didn't hear airline or any other kind of pilot mentioned...why do you think that is?

Flame away.

Why would a pilot have a level of prestige anywhere close to a firefighter, doctor, or teacher?

They were given 23 choices and airline pilot was not one of them.

No, 40 years ago you would've seen DC8, 747, and Constellation pilots on there. Not RJ button pushers.

Go here to view the poll, Pilots are not one of the choices for people to choose from. You can see the historical trends on here also.

Exactly. Who enters into any career for prestige? Only those with low self-esteem, I guess.

Who enters into any career for prestige?

Airline management. No wait...they're in it for the ability of screwing their employees to profitability, then rewarding themselves with bonuses and stock options, then raising fares to what it actually costs to produce the product, then slapping themselves on the back for the "genius" profit wind-falls that result from their "plan."

Prestige, is standing with a cup of coffee in your hands while watching a guy or girl with better health benefits and pay kneel next to your plane, stacking boxes in the pod.

Were bus drivers. Nobody gives a crap what we do as long as we dont crash or show up drunk. Were paid to be boring.

Who watches ABC news?

Especailly with Katie Couric soon to be the anchor, or am I the only one that can't stand her? Anyone else hear about her recent commercial flight incident? Guess the rules don't apply to her.

and...

...if you are doing this job for the prestige you are doing it for the wrong reason.
