There are plenty of topics on how much pilots earn, but how much should we earn?
OK there is a lot of discussion about what sort of pilot is most skilled. In my opinion (right or wrong) VIP transport, EMS, police, offshore, fire fighting, load lifting, SAR etc all have specialist skills and you cant say one justifies higher basic pay than another.
SO,
where in the following list should helicopter pilots be:
- Lawyer
- Surgeon
- Accountant
- Architect
- Civil Engineer
- Journalist
- Plumber
- Teacher
- Nurse
- Bus driver
- Garbage collector
- Macdonalds "Have a nice day" Operative
I know it is a bit simplistic and the order of the list could be debated, but it is the best I could come up with that would be reasonably international.
As for me - I reckon we should be around the journalist - civil engineer mark
