Btw, the answer is: because they love to fly. Just like you.
I didn't think an ATP was required for part 135 ops. Could be wrong on that haven't checked it in a while. I thought an ATP was only required for 135 chief pilots or operations directors, or something like that.
Not to knock our profession, but I think an accomplished MIT grad could probably have a more lucrative career in something other than being an airline pilot.
