Yet more public stereotyping...

I just found this poll off of MSN....Apparently the public still thinks flying a metal tube is a good job to have....notice it's in the high pay section too....:rotfl:

They aren't considering regional airlines in that. The public definition of "large" is different than FAA's.

The numbers they are using are 4 years old, I think the pay picture is a bit worse in 2010 than it was in 2005...

Those types of "comparisons" also usually take the hourly rate and times it by 40 hours a week. We all know that pilots do NOT get paid 40 hours a week...

Whether they did or not, the pay for captains at AA, DL, CO, US, FDX, UPS and a few others meets or exceeds the numbers they posted there, and that was the only point they were trying to make.

Agreed, my point is that it just reinforces the publics viewpoint that all pilots fly 747's, make 6 figures, and in general live the good life. It doesn't help the changes that are trying to be passed with regards to 3407.
