What's the go with airline 'pilots' being paid so much money? I mean what do they REALLY do? Why do they wear wings when they should be wearing gold computers instead? A pilot's a pilot, whether in command of a Cessna 150 or a 747-400. The differences begin when we look at what the crew/s have to use. The C150 pilot is single pilot IFR, with a fixed card ADF only (if they're lucky) whereas the 747 Captain is in a multi crew environment with every nav system possible and an autopilot to fly the thing! they also have trolly dollies to service the pilots....where the GA pilot has a 44 gal drum sitting next to him full of super next to him.who is earning their money?

This must be a wind-up.

Don't know what Capt N is laughing about, though. He apparently doesn't know what a low voltage light on a C-172 means.

I'll bet every 747 Capt knows what electrical fault warnings on their a/c mean.

Although this purports to be a "question" to professional pilots, it is couched in a very thin veneer.

I will let it ride for now, but jetblast is only a click away !

Did you ever fly jet aircraft? You most probably never will with this kind of attitude.

Just stay out of my sky!

Gen Av, not quite out of the "pilot-bashing...management advisory" capacity, yet!

At least pilots recognise each other for WHAT we are, and what it took to get there....

...now F#*k OFF!!!
