True. They also don’t get paid for pre flight checks on ground or anything leading up to the flight. They are only paid for in flight hours.

[@whydoyouexist1205]

Pilots jobs are hard people think that they sit on there asses all day. It’s usually has its ups and downs. The hardest part is definitely hitting the simulators and going through all the material you learned again. You can’t forget anything and 1/2 ass something in aviation. You have to be a meteorologist, doctor, mechanic, and a aviator. You need to understand weather, your engines and how they work, health and associate medical conditions. It’s not as easy as it looks, that’s why 40% quit there first year at a part 141. It’s just too much and they’re all yet to even scratch an actually airline.

[@lawgeta]

I work for a major airline and some things of note: 1.) You are no longer required to have a college degree. If you have your hours (at least 1,500 or 750 in military service) and instrument ratings, many regionals will be willing to have you. Do a few years of that and now Major airlines will scoop you up much sooner than before. 2.) Pilots aren’t enjoying a plane that flies by itself! Even in an Airbus! There’s so much instrument watching and plan deviations you have to be aware of and on the fly. You don’t just take off and enjoy uneventful flight plans all the time. I talk to pilots. None of them say it’s easy but all of them say it’s worth it. 3.) Pilots are not overpaid! I mean, when the flight is uneventful it seems like it but when things go even slightly amiss it’s like they’re hilariously underpaid and I believe all of them deserve more.

[@Wannabearborist]

To be honest I think you can’t say an average of 100k is under paid, that is enough to live comfortably and if need be due to stress get a great therapist, you could indeed argue that more money is always better but pilots are definitely not underpaid (on average)

As young construction worker I have a lot of physical challenge on my job and financially it’s reasonable mentally I have no problems with this job, working in a shop you might get more mental sh1t because of entitlement with some costumers and financially it’s mostly okay, physically working is a shop is not challenging, almost none of.

As an attorney providing legal services to airline pilots for several decades, I'll add that the average salary today adjusted for inflation is actually less than it was 20 years ago. The mandated periods of rest and flights are so disruptive that many have failed marriages. Flight schedules are such that many join together to rent apartments around the country as "crash pads" to get sleep during layovers, as a significant expense not paid by the airline. Then there is the stress of dying because some under trained mechanic in Mexico left a screwdriver in an engine which "servicing" it for the employer airline looking to get maintenance on the cheap.

[@ducktape1ful]

The part of the video talking about “letting the technology do the flying” is a very gross oversimplification of what we actually do. We do turn on the autopilot once we are above a certain altitude and let it physically fly the aircraft, but the autopilot doesn’t do anything without us telling it what to do. We are still the ones that have to plan and fly the departure procedures and arrivals, deviate the aircraft around hazardous weather, do fuel calculations in flight, weight and balance, re-program the autopilot when we are given route changes in flight by the air traffic controllers, and manually take over the aircraft if there is some sort of system failure or abnormality. The general public thinks all we do it click on the autopilot and take a nap. But that’s not true at all. We have to turn the autopilot off if we get into turbulence that is too rough because the autopilot won’t be able to hold our heading or altitude. The purpose of the autopilot is to reduce our workload so we can focus on the other parts I mentioned. Think of autopilot just like very sophisticated cruise control on your car. I have had several occasions where the autopilot malfunctioned or wasn’t doing what we programmed it to do, so we had to disconnect it.

They deserve as much money as they can. My dad does this for a living and it is very demanding. I believe this hey should UP the wages and encourage people to join.

Exactly. All they do is just sit there and do meetings and paperwork. Meanwhile, pilots are flying planes and have a chance of dying.

I know, not all spouses, would agree with that, but i’m genuinely thankful he choose this career. He feels sadness for being gone a lot, I feel peace and admiration for him, knowing what he is sacrificing for our family ❤

I’ve always said that we’re not necessarily paid for what we do, but for what we know. What the public doesn’t see are the hours of simulated engine failures, engine fires, rapid decompressions and every possible scenario that *could* possibly happen. Handling these situations are second nature to us. That’s why we’re paid well.

[@TheGrumpyDoc-19]

Agreed. I like to think of it like a surgeon. High pay for lots of knowledge. You can pay a monkey to perform surgery and fly a plane. The high pay comes in KNOWING WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT, WHEN SH!T HITS THE FAN.

[@mako2719]

They absolutely deserve it, for example Airbus A380 burns $20k worth of fuel each flight hour, so while two pilots together make $50k by flying it for 80 hours (counting an average salary of $300k), it burns $1.6 million of fuel, so in bigger perspective of aviation costs, their salaries are not high and have very little impact on the ticket prices

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

LOL. It doesn’t burn $125K an hour. Not even remotely close. The cost, including fuel, maintenance , crew salaries, insurance etc, is around $25K an hour.

Fellow pilots will agree, the amount of radiation exposure during a 4 hour flight is approximately the same as an X-ray, flying in an aircraft at high altitudes and getting exposed to ozone has some level of danger to it over a prolonged period of time. One extra reason for a beneficial salary...

This is a ridiculous question to pose - of course pilots deserve every damn penny. They sacrifice a lot of themselves; time, money, energy; they work their entire lives logging in hundreds of thousands of hours to become proficient in flying an aircraft & invest in learning everything about the aircraft’s aerodynamics, instruments, how to handle various emergency situations that may arise while focusing on getting people safely to their destinations in a calm manner… they’re responsible for several lives. If you want competent & safe pilots pay them often & pay them well!!

You aren’t required a four year degree anymore, it’s only recommended. Also, the three year training to get to that level with $100k invested should tell you how difficult being a pilot is academically. 8% of people who start working on a private pilot license, let alone airline transport pilot, complete.

[@user-gn2wp8wp2i]

For a comparison, lcc pilots probably earn a lot less. Pilots and flight attendants at a legacy carrier are paid well. Mechanics/engineers are paid about the same as a fast food worker because they are ground based.
