As a professional pilot, I just find it absolutely shocking that people are jumping for joy over flying a bus-full of passengers in a turbojet-powered aircraft for $70k/year.
I can see if you're flying five or six, but 50? 70? 90? 130? 300?
Perhaps I just expect more compensation from a profession where I've got jeopardy from recurrent every six months, a medical every six months and where we have a much more grave responsibility than a plumber, but we'll cheerfully accept less and PAY for the opportunity to do so.
If that's the popular sentiment out there we're absolutely hosed.
I'm simply shocked.
That's my final comment on the thread, but I'm standing by with the fire extinguisher because after all, I'm a mod!
