How'd you do in stats?
By my estimation:
The LOWEST paid pilots make maybe 100k less than the median (only 35k).
The HIGHEST paid pilots make
more than 165k more than the median (>$300k although we've all heard of the workaholics who make more like $400k).
Since there's an equal number above and below the median number, you want to revise your "guarantee" of the median?
