Sticky said:That is the bottom line. Why pay a life long professional pilot big bucks when a 22 year old can do the same for a fraction the cost?
Ace757 said:Well done JetBlue. Very nice landing. This proves why airline pilots deserve to make what they use to. What other job do you go to and all of a sudden have the lives of 149 people in your hands.
Ty Webb said:I have worked EMS and flown as a 737 Capt.
While EMT's and Paramedics deserve to be paid more than they are, there is no correlation with an airline pilot's job/pay. We deserve every freaking penny we get, and more.

Yank McCobb said:Read PCL 3701 then read the account of this emergency. There's your difference between young, inexperienced "any 22 year old" vs. experienced professional airmen.
PERIOD.
Ace757 said:Other jobs with with 149+ lives in your hands:
Air Traffic Controller-Make more than pilots
Firefighters (specifically at a high rise fire)Govt. Job, good bennies though. Make more than regional pilots
Police Officers (specifically if 149 hostages are involved)Come On! that happens every day
Cruise Ship Captain- Make more than pilots
The guy whose job it is to tell you where the Hurricane wil strike-I bet he makes more too, but he is not directly involved with the 150 people.
The guy who bakes the Krispy Kreme doughnuts- What the F is this
Aircraft Mechanic-Small point made here. They should make more
The guy in charge of making sure the lion at the zoo cannot escape-Again...what the F, lets pick things that actuall happens daily ok.
Really. You don't see people asking for across the board pay cuts when an airline flight crew tracks a vor into a mountain.Floyd R. Turbo said:So True. Clint Eastwood said it best: "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it."
Ty Webb said:Funny, that's what Fedex, ABX and UPS guys say about you. . . .
At least while we're "lowering the bar" we're not on a 20 minute call-out and crapping into a plastic bag.
What's that? Your pager's gong off? Chihauhau, Mexico? Have fun. Better pack a big bag, they don't have anything coming back for a few days.
