Wait... So "by definition" you are better because the plane is bigger?

You never cease to amaze.

 

Well what about size of the pilot does that factor in???????

 

Obviously better pilots fly bigger airplanes. Haven't you seen the chart?

 

Quite possibly the finest chart I've ever seen. That should settle any questions.

 

 

No thanks don't want to work there. Ever.

 

My parents bought into a 1/3 share of 5 McD's store in the late 1980's as a side investment. They retired very young and made a killing on it.

 

I can't stop laughing at this!

 

I highly doubt it is a linear relationship. Who did the research for this graph?

 

Good analogy (checkers/chess) that's one you see a LOT among pilots. I would add that the vast majority of degrees are truly "worthless" in their own right, but are nevertheless (HTF is that combined to make one word?) inherently useless. IOW, you won't find gainful employment in most of them. Ever.

But they are still required to "check the box" across the industry. Artificially limiting one's self without getting at least a BA in Feelings with a minor in Regurgitation may save someone the money initially, but could cost them millions across their career. Yes there are exceptions, and for those who can make that work out for them, great! But there's just way too many fairly cheapa nd easy ways to earn a degree part time while working another flying job (especially while working another flying job) to warrant putting down the sour grapes and just gitting-er-dunn.

BTW you probably lost a lot of ppl when you talked about getting an MBA to get into airline management. Not only is the ROI on that far from certain, but I'd say that the overwhelming vast majority of pilots don't want to get into management.
