Ya and how are the stats made up? Do 25% make 100k+ plus but go to ivy league level school, and 75% make 40k or less??? How many airline pilots could get into and pass an ivy league law school??? Heck how many could even get a law degree, and what % of that years graduates would they be worth?? I bet most of us would be 50% or less.

MOST airline pilots are not A++ students who go to Brown or Stanford. We are B- dyslexics who go to Purdue. But we love flying and go through the difficult and exhausting process of becoming one.
