People defend American Airlines pilot’s salary after pay slip goes viral

Most people dream of a job that pays well enough to free them from the stress of making ends meet. And among the highest paying professional careers is becoming a pilot (which makes sense, really, considering they’re responsible for the safe delivery of hundreds of passengers travelling tens of thousands of feet up in the air). How much pilots get paid varies depending on the airline and experience, but one American Airlines pilot recently revealed their annual salary – and people can’t believe how money they’re raking in.
