River Pilots laugh at you. All day.

Unless you have an in you have no shot of ever becoming a river pilot.

I almost 40. I wasn't really planning on it. I can barely park my Camry.

watch what happens when the pilots refuse to get on the ships until the raises are approved and the law suits are dropped.

For that, you could hire a couple guys to do the piloting for you.

One of my neighbors is a Bar Pilot and so is his son. Works about 5-7 days a month. Last name Perez. Figure that one out.

There is no sort of about it. You generally have to be born into it and no entity in this state can even think about touching them.

While the Hyperbole is comical. The whole "operators are overpaid compared to work performed" is indisputable.
The barriers to entry to become a River Boat Pilot should be criminal.

The Perez's run Plaquemines Parish and St Bernard Parsh, they are like the mafia down there...hence where a lot of the Pilots are from...
