Huge Responsibility
PunkPilot,
I am a CFI and I say that anyone can be a pilot. Some have a natural skill and ability and the rest are perfect for the airlines.
dogpilot,
The public doesnt care. Everyone has a job with huge responsibilities; police fire, military, construction, public transportation, medicine. Pilots are nothing special. If we were to use the responsibility system then cargo pilots should make 18K while pax pilots should make 180K, right? Out of all of us a US Army soldier by far should earn the most. Those guys have some real daily stress and responsibility.
