Thats like claiming a pub singer should be paid the same as Madaonna.
That's not nice.
Our 747 captain is assisted by a cojo, he takes off from London, punches the autopilot at 1000 ft and calls the girls for a coffee.
Upon landing in SFO he takes over the aircraft at 1000 feet and lands it.
After that he puts 20 flight hours in his logbook.
What a joke.
How many days does a helicopter pilot have to work hard to write up the same amount of hours?
Four, five days of tough concentrated flying? Not just monitoring instruments?
Actually, it is ok to pay me just above wellfare, 'cause I love flying...
And it is better than not having a job at all, right?
Ah, well...
