Does anyone know how to paste the article on here? It should be required reading for our future, if we choose to do nothing.
Agreed. The comments are maddening. It's a reminder of what the general public thinks about pilots, i.e., overpaid / under worked. Below is just one of the comments:
"Don't pilots only work a few days a month? I assumed they only get paid for the time they work not for the days off. My next door neighbor was a commercial pilot and he worked about 10 days a month. He had hour restrictions he could work, I on the other hand have been required to work 54 hours straight at times."
