Glorified bus drivers? Who told you that the qualification is 10th pass??Its 12th PCM and the exam conducted by DGCA for giving license will make you shit in your pants.. (I am a mechanical engineer and can attest that DGCA is 10 times tougher than any engineering exam) Try getting the least that is private pilot license and you will realize what a pilot's job is all about. It is easy for you to sit there in front of your computer and call pilots drivers? When you have emergency situation in face it takes a well trained and brave pilot to take things in his stride. Remember the aircrafts are machines and anything can go wrong when they are operating at above 30000ft. Have little respect for other professions and if you do not know about it then don't say anything. Anyways we don't need your patronizing, the pleasure of flying is a reward (not to mention the salaries)
