River Pilots laugh at you. All day.

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

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

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

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.)

it's a crock. The pilot's have their monopoly, they charge ships out the arse and make tons of money.
Posted on 10/5/15 at 2:32 pm to Artie Rome
That's more than a regular pilot!
Posted on 10/5/15 at 2:35 pm to Artie Rome
That would be one hell of a pay cut but I could probably swing it if it meant only working 6 days a month.

Sweet Baby Jesus.. frick it's just a boat.. Forest fricking Gump can pilot a boat
Posted on 10/5/15 at 4:31 pm to Artie Rome
My grandpa and uncle were both boat captains but cancer killed them at an early age. Job isn't worth it imo
Posted on 10/5/15 at 5:11 pm to Artie Rome
My uncle is a riverboat pilot and he is grooming my nephew to take over. He is right at 400k/yr
