Airline pilots 12th Highest paid proffesion in the US
http://msn.careerbuilder.com/custom/..._917_spotlight
The median income for an airline pilot is $135,040. Since it is the median, it means that half of all airline pilots get paid more then $135,040 per year. Which also means that half of all pilots get paid less then that.
Interesting it beat out dentists, engineers, and lawyers

Major new-hires and regional pilots probably average $40-50K.
I'd like to see the average...

Really ... ?
I looked twice when I saw this one ...
10. Chief Executives -- $139,810
I guess those numbers are that low if you include the CEO of the local Landscaping Company ...
(You may only get that if you live in AZ)

I looked at the Bureau of labor Statistics. They show airline pilots and navigators between $95-$97/hr at 39+ hours weekly in June 2005. If they then show $135,040 median, then they used $135.04/hr at 1000 hours annually. Someone had to boost the numbers. It doesn't add up. Also, the sampling and non sampling errors are in the 13 % range, so basically worthless data for all intents except for managements during negotiations telling you why you need to be paid less.

The mean is the best yardstick, what you don't know is the metrics included. Likely they included all pension and medical benefits for pilots, and who knows what airlines were included and excluded. They may even throw in a value for 'jumpseat priveleges' Unless I see the methodology,airlines included, what years, etc. these numbers from the govt. are meaningless and look like something paid for by management publicity campaigns during negotiations.

My ex might appear to make a large amount of money but when you consider his overhead, one might not be so envious.
