First of all, let me expand on the statement I think set you off initially- that doctors are not smarter than pilots. In terms of the stack of books they need to read, then yes, doctors need to read way more in med school than pilots do in flight school. I do not however think that a doctor's IQ, reasoning ability or general level of intelligence is any greater than a pilot's. For the reasons I gave above, medicine is a more competitive field to enter, and so that selects for candidates who are more dedicated. You don't need much dedication to enroll as a student at your local flight school.

I agree that many US doctors work for insurance companies whether or not they like it. Even so, a randomly chosen doctor probably makes more than a randomly chosen pilot. As cardiomd said, supply and demand isn't the simple fix; I agree with him, but I think it's a start. As somebody with experience in the airline industry, how do you think we should start to fix the problem? Not trying to pick a fight, just honestly looking for your thoughts.

To answer your question- yes, I was accepted to medical school.
