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 ...

To be fair...any job is a desk job when you sit behind the controls long enough

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

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. ?‍?

It’s pretty terrible as a junior pilot, especially at the regionals. ?

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)

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.
