What Pilots are really good at
So lets start the list:
1) Moaning and bi&ching
2) Crying about pay
3) Not doing a damn thing
4) I push the autopilot button better than you
5) My auto land works better than yours
There is my list, whats on yours?

The CRJ doesn't land itself.
I am pretty good at the following:
1. Bitching and moaning about mainliners who got there by being in the right place at the right time and now think they are God's gift to aviation.
2. Bitching and moaning about my company and its inability to win a single RFP, even ones which should be a slam dunk.
3. Bitching and moaning about the CRJ.
4. Bitching and moaning about PHL.
5. Bitching and moaning about managers who seem to intentionally antagonise the pilot group, even though it doesn't in any way help them.
6. Bitching and moaning about redneck pilots who think they can solve the world's problems, even though all they have is a year or two of college and have never been outside the US.
7. Bitching and moaning about the weather on the east coast.
I am a very pleasant person!!

Pilots are good at taking an extremely complex machine into an even more complex and random environment with a combination of skill, rote memory, instinct and sometimes a bit of bravery. They can do this on demand, day or night, rain or snow, good management or bad, and bring the costly bit of hardware and it's cargo safely back to earth in a useable condition.
