Since paying an AIRLINE pilot based on seats was not very accepted on this thread, then how are we supposed to be paid? UPS, FedEx are paid based on size. Which goes back to my original post, bigger airplane equals bigger money.
Jmack, don't you corporate slaves who also get to fly airplanes get paid based aircraft size as well? Like Netjets and such. I used the term slave because that is what the majority of corporate pilots are. I flew corporate for a month and it was the only time in my life I hated flying. Show up to sit around and wait, then hurry up and put his bags where he likes them. Then make sure he has whatever he needs in flight like a flight attendant. Then when you land, go grab the bags again. After that, clean the aircraft on your hands and knees because you can't stand up in most corporate airplanes. Then go eat, sit around all day and do nothing and then do it all over again to go home. Geez, where do I sign up?
I am sure you will tell me how corporate guys make more money, etc. I would rather make less money than be viewed like I was during that month. Those people have more respect for their pets than they do their pilots. At least once a month we get a nice passenger that says Thanks. But only once!
