[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What, no? Pilots get paid nothing and burn out very quickly.[/quote]

Median pilot salaries is closer to $200k.

It depends too..there are other things you can get into where pilots can easily crack $300, 400, even 500k+.[/quote]

Name them.

If you are willing to live internationally, long-haul captains can pull in $300-500k from Asian airlines. Asia pays top primo dollars. [/quote]

No it isn't.  It's much less than half.  There just aren't enough military pilots, and not everyone wants to go from military to airline.  Defense industry is full of ex pilots, and lots of the military pilots who flew helos don't transition to fixed wing.

Long haul is mostly former Navy and Air Force. The places hiring out of flight school are regional carriers who don't pay very much [/quote][/quote]
