I once had a non pilot charter pax ask me before the flight why we
charged so much money for our services. I told him he could make the
flight one of two ways. We could walk out to the airplane together, get
in, and I'd do the flying, or I could show him the airplane and he was
welcome to try it by himself.


The high salaries of some airline pilots are mostly high for historical
reasons. It's best not to look too closely at how much they are actually
worth.


Um, this comment was about a charter pilot. They don't make much
typically.

What are you talking about? We know that only rich people can afford to fly,
right?

Why my nephew makes so much money on his two part time flying jobs (one
corporate and one charter - both right seat in King Air's) that he only
needs one other job (working the desk a FBO) to pay the rent.

It probably helps that his expenses are down - he's on 24 hour call for the
charter job since they mostly fly organ transplant teams so he doesn't spend
anything on beer anymore.

I know another guy that's been a flight instructor for 25-30 years - between
him and his wife, they make so much money that they actually own a house!!!
