Do people think pilots are rich and powerful? I know a couple of pilots. They make about €90k a year and they are basically well qualified bus drivers.

Man, where to begin with this.

A. The pilots you know are making way more than most commercial pilots if those numbers aren't made up.

B. Nearly 100K in USD a year IS A LOT OF MONEY to most people, certainly nothing to scoff at. Way more than the median US income.

C. You're on fucking drugs if you legitimately believe that piloting a plan requires the same level of competency as driving a bus.

D. Who the fuck upvoted you?
