Still makes me laugh though that the likes of 'marketing execs' earn more than a rotary pilot, REALLY which is the harder and more dangerous???
I truely think that marketing exec is a harder job than flying helicopters. In flying you get to execute your plan and the success is based entirely on your actions and descisions, with marketing, market forces and competing companies get in the way, and it generally comes down to whose got the most cash and works the longest hours.
As far as dangerous.... There is no significant data on the fatalaties caused by long term stress. Which a lot of exec positions come with. Sypmtoms like depression, spontaneous nose bleeds, spontaneous pneumothorax, twitches, stutters, hardnening of the arteries etc etc etc
No...flying helicopters is much safer and a lot simpler, they can keep their saville row suits, prada loafers and six figure salaries.
