2nd tonyw/cav's posts. I never wrote or even suggested, that being a pro pilot was easy, or that they don't deserve high pay. I never wrote a bad word about pilots, only good words about doctors, yet some replied with a nasty tone. I did write that doctors go through much more schooling than pilots, and endure more, and have much higher barriers to entry, all of which are true. education=/=salary=/=deserving
People on this board complain how the public doesn't understand what pilots have to go through, it's because the public is just ignorant. I am not a doctor, but know enough to say that people who compare a doctor's education to a pilot's education are showing ignorance themselves.

And to people who think that they are somehow special, "You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake". Nothing wrong with being average, by definition, most people are average, it just means that you are not the rare gift to flying that some pilots think they are. What's among the first things you say to or heard as a prospective student-if you can drive a car, you can fly an airplane. These are average people who are trained to a professional standard regardless of their motivation for flying-career or pleasure. And that's why I think average pilots come from average people, and not some superpeopleland that I apparently have been excluded from.
