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.

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