[QUOTE="White Line, post: 1425009, member: 52233"] Oh yes of course the pilots need more money too, yeah flying these new glass cockpit aircraft that practically fly themselves is such a difficult task, oh my how do they keep from over exerting themselves! Yeah see it used to be you actually had a captain, co pilot, flight engineer and a navigator, and it used to be that a flight engineer and a co pilot worth their salt made the difference between a connie or a dc7 getting off the ground or not, because a effed up air and fuel mixture could mean the difference between a Wright 3350 either coughing to life or imploding on the tarmac and the aircraft being grounded (back when pilots were pilots and flight crews were flight crews), but by all means pay these modern day pilots more, I mean my god monitoring computers that monitor those turbo fans and flight/navigation systems must be a daunting task, hopefully the FO doesn't get a paper cut from the flight plan, oh wait a minute I think flight plan is on the computer too.
