Neo hit the nail on the head. Airline pilots may be accused of earning to much - right up untill something goes wrong at 30,000'.
How the hell was this top 10 list created? Whose to say that airline pilots are making to much? - Prehaps there is a relationship between the so called 'top 10 dangerous jobs' and the supposed top 10 'over paid'.
Over the course of a carrerr spanning from entry level GA through to the majors would you actually end up all that better of than someone who worked a reasonably 'highish' paying job his/her entire carrer.
Most of all - WHO GIVES A S**T! apart from the editor of the article. Im not worried that someone is earning more than they should and therefore should be taking a pay cut - because it would be considered 'fair'.
On a more possitive note - last year here in NZ a similar article was placed with the 10 most trusted and 10 most untrusted professionals/workers. - Pleased to say Pilots were the MOST trusted of all workers.
