Looks pretty good. Simple and to the point.

Other than the first two paragraphs...

I have no problem with it. It's a nice synopsis for someone seeking basic info. The first two paragrahps are inaccurate in mentioning "very lucrative salaries" and flying to exotic places. He's so into statistics, I'd like to see his numbers for pilots flying large jets internationally. Not that high. You're more likely to be flying an RJ from Des Moines to Dallas than a 777 from Dallas to Paris.

If you get on at Fedex you have a good chace of flying to Hong Kong within a year.

Its okay. The first two paragraphs are horrible. He does not say alot about the training and he should talk more about how much hard work goes into it. Also nothing about 135 frieght or really much cargo in the article.
But its a very basic overview. I would not make any decisions based on it but its okay for the normal non aviation person.
