[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really understand how the author lumps pilots in with plumbers and electricians. Airline pilots generally have degrees, and many are former military officers. Doesn't make sense to me. Anyone have a theory on that?[/quote] I agree that it is unfair, but nowadays airline pilots are like glorified bus drivers, especially if you are working for a small podunk airline and getting paid pennies. [/quote] True. My father was an airline pilot, but back in the "heyday" of the industry--the 40s-80s. They really were much more revered and looked up to years ago. Our neighbors were always execs/lawyers/doctors, and he was the one with the good stories. :) [/quote]
