Mailmen actually do quite well when you consider that they do not have much invested in education and training prior to getting the job. Originally Posted by DeadHead

The pilot would then spend most of the next five years in low wage jobs trying to get to a regional. Once getting hired on at a regional they could then expect to spend five more years in the right seat. After fifteen years of time invested the pilot finally makes it to the left seat at a regional and can make a living.
The mailman however has a paid off house and five more years until retirement. Just another way to look at it.
