I bet if they had a school to be a rock star thousands of people would pay $80,000 to attend an be willing to live in poverty just so they could get up on that stage every night. The difference is that this is reality for pilots.
I do have one question. I know how the pay scales work for pilots but is the attrition so high that RJ pilots can only compete for $20 and hour and the guys flying 747's can make over $100 and hour because there are less of them out there?
