Patrick Smith’s discussions of pilot pay here and here were enough to convince me pilots are not overpaid.Pilots earn their pay. I get annoyed whenever I hear people complaining about how pilots don’t have the right to strike and that they already get paid too much for a routine job.
Sure most flight are by the books, but when the unexpected happens, a calm, collected, and skilled pilot is worth his weight in gold.
This is a vid of the jet blue incident a few years back. The nose gear was stuck in the stowed position which made the wheels perpendicular to the tarmac. Despite this the landing couldn’t have been smoother or more precise. Well done.
