Until we get rid of the Levee Board, the Causeway Commission, the Bridge Police and all these other lame-arse entities, IDC about the pilots.
At least they actually do work.

Not necessarily true. They have made a lot of non-family member pilots in the last 10 years. Even have made some women as pilots in that same timespan.

When I lived in the warehouse district my neighbor Malcom was a Bar Pilot, made tons of money, worked a little and smoked a lot of dope.
Nice gig if you can get it.

I've been trying to find a list of single legal aged daughters of river pilots since I was in highschool. Haven't found it yet

Well, I know of a gay riverboat guy. How desperate are you?

Mississippi River ship pilots that would boost their average annual pay more than $50,000 over four years, to $473,692 in 2019
Also talk of this industry holding a serious torch to nepotism. With all of that money why not "make sure" your kids get into the best schools in the country and have a truly better life?
(Like a life on the west coast.)

No. See, what I did was post an article talking about the proposed $50k raise.

Uh, they drive a boat like 4 miles in a river that's a mile wide. Nobody will ever convince me it's that fricking hard.
