[quote=rickair7777;129202] Our passengers really do believe that all jet airline pilots flew F-15's, fought in one of the gulf wars against swarms of Migs, graduated from top gun, have 15,000 hours and 500 carrier traps, and beat out 50 other fighter pilots for that airline job...which presumably pays at least $250K.

The majority of those F-15 / F-16 F-18 pilots are under thirty and have less than 1,000 hrs.
