And for this, he gets paid a shockingly low salary.

My dad flew for Western from 1968 - to when Delta bought them and until 1994. He treated it like a desk job. My dad was … odd ...
Evillairforrent
To be fair...any job is a desk job when you sit behind the controls long enough
taurondir
Just replace all the controls on the plane with "take off" "just fly" "now land" buttons, and we wouldn't need all these damn pilots

If you do sub-titling like that I'm not watching your video.

It actually helped me ignore the subtitles and enjoy the video

Not native english here. this kind of subtitle is impossible to manage. Do not do that, ever.

I've gotta say the word-by-word teletype style overlay is distracting. I can read fast, but not if the words aren't visible. ??

Would be nice if they slowed that shit down so we could actually read it. Or like a manuscript

How fucked up is the circadian rhythm of an airline pilot?
BadgerToby
Very. “Rhythm” doesn’t really apply.
PilotChristy
It’s pretty terrible as a junior pilot, especially at the regionals. ?

All crew members go through this, not just pilots. Ex wife has been a flight attendant for 25 yrs and still gets airport standby sometimes.

Depends on seniority/route. Senior pilots can get routes that basically amount to a 9-5 job. Newer pilots can be on reserve call, (1)

Very. My brother is an airline pilot and I will be one shortly as well after years of being crew on cargo airplanes. It's fun though!

I read the average pay is surprisingly low.

Most of the essential Jobs have suprisingly low pay. Source me with low pay in an essential waste management position.

I guess that’s relative because entry pay according to to google is nearly six figures with upper end at a quarter million.

Yes, but entry level starts at years of commercial flying experience
Yeah it really depends on what is called entry level. There's a few years of experience needed to get in an airline pilot seat, but once 1/

you're there the pay increases pretty drastically. It's not uncommon for high time captains to pull in $300,000/year for 2 trips a month
The entire industry is also desperately short on pilots though, so starting pay has been increasing dramatically.
