I'm not a real Pilot?

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.

The cost of charter flights is for fuel, insurance, debt service,
maintenance and salaries. (among other things) The salaries are not
that high in this case.
