Where do they get their information? I don't understand how this profession keeps making the list year after year...considering the dirt wages and horrible lifestyle you have to endure in order to get to the "$106,153.00", not to mention the ridiculously high initial cost to even qualify for an entry level pilot position...

I don't find this that shocking. We are in the bottom half of a list of 200 jobs. A cashier is above us. Many things about this profession are messed up, but it is still better than operating a drill press all day long.

If you look at the numbers though:
source: Airline comparison charts
DAL pilot cost in 2009 was $1.488B for 10,785 pilots or $137,969/each.
SWA came in at $993M and 5634 pilots for $176,251/ea.
UAL $700M and 5581 pilots equals $125,425/ea.
CAL $635M on 4227 pilots equals $150,224/ea.
AMR $1.13B on 8092 pilots equals $139,644/ea.
Now that's airline cost, that's not average salary. If someone has that math, awesome.
