Default Starting Pay for Pilots/Copilots

This is from a list on Yahoo! about the best jobs for new graduates. Pilot/Co-pilot was number 6 of 10 on the list of "Jobs That Pay New Grads the Best."

6. Airline Pilots/Copilots and Flight Engineers

Beginning Wage: $54,460
Median Earnings: $110,590


I wonder how many days into ground school the new grads will be before one of them asks the grizzled vet teaching them the CFM, "I think there may have been a mistake. We're supposed to be starting at a little north of $50K a year".

The instructor will probably start laughing so hard that someone will call 911.
