Why bother applying to be just an airline pilot when you can be an astronaut instead.Just click on
http://www.nasajobs.nasa.gov and go to the "How to Apply"section.You can view all the Nasa pay scales and download an Astronaut Application form !!
I wonder if I would get a reply if I filled in the form and put down B747-400 as previous flying experience.That would give 'em a shock when they normally expext to see F18's and the like.
