It doesn't take anywhere close to $10M/year to benefit from the tax laws. That is a cop out for being lazy. If you plan, work and invest like the rich, an airline pilot can benefit greatly from the tax laws.
The scary part for most of us is that type of work and investing does not provide the guaranteed hourly rate we get for flying a trip. You may work for a year or more with only minimal payback, then get six figures or more on one check. It takes a different approach to income and wealth creation, but it is rewarded in the tax code.
