Not to start something here but who do you figure works harder here. The guy walking down the jet way or the one standing at the bottom of the steps in the snow guarding the prop.
The one turning the auto pilot on and reading the sports page or the one hand flying the airplane to minimums in 40 knot gusts at an uncontrolled un plowed field in the middle of East Bum****** KS, NY, PA pick a state.
I agree its all BS. Frankly a guy flying a Aerostar single pilot IFR should be making $300/hr and the 747 guy with the 2 other crew members ought to be making the $200.00 a day.
