Does anyone know approx what percentage of the posters on here are actually Professional Pilots ?
I suspect about 5% of all posters we read, perhaps less, are professional pilots flying transports for the majors and regionals, military, charter & cargo. Then there are ground and sim instructors who may be retired professional pilots. There will be meteorologists, software/hardware, aeronautical, electrical, mechanical, maintenance and flight safety engineers, human factors specialists, maintenance people, perhaps a few dispatchers, maybe two or three executives and FAs. I suspect the vast majority do not work in aviation in a professional capacity. That said, the questions asked and the engaged, respectful manner in which many are interested in learning more is widespread regardless of profession.
Just an impression, backed up in places with a bit of knowledge through private communications.
