A pilot is no more or less important than an engineer, a cleaner, a marketeer etc etc.
Well, your remark is a tad superficial... You could ask me "what do you think does make a pilot soo "special"... and there we are, once more, having to defend ourselves... so here, just a couple of reasons I can think of right now that differentiate mr Pilot from others:
- Most of us are fully self funded professionals
- We bring a set of qualities, mental and physical
- We cannot work at less than 100% engagement
- We have to constantly demonstrate that our skills have not eroded (sim)
- We have to make decisions in split decisions (no time to get into the books)
- We suffer from known discomforts related to flying
- Statistics show pilots don't age very well past pension age
no sponsor Most of us know the feeling (maybe too well) of working for these kind of companies, well that's the reason most people will change company over the years, the grass is always greener...
