You may have been trying to make a point but lost all credibility with the above ignorant statement. The average airline pilot is at work for 280 hrs. per month but is only paid around 80 hrs. That's two full time jobs. You sound like you may be in the media. Making statements without factual knowlege will not get you very far here. Staying in a Holliday Inn Express won't really make you a resident expert.
Your opinins are welcome here but when you diverge from an opinion and start puting out false numbers as factual statements, you won't get very far. If you think airline pilots are paid too much...fine. Just get your facts straight. Oh, and welcome to the forum.
