I'm pretty sure that the river boat pilots in La make a lot more than anywhere else in the country.
It does indeed get very expensive for companies to have to pay and it probably has resulted in us losing businesses to other ports at times.
And yes, Heitmier did get his son hired as a pilot

Biggest crock of shite is that if they frick up, which they rarely do, the Captain is still responsible. Pilots are there to suggest to the Captain where to go. They are basically a navigator.

I thought their salaries were compatible with other pilot organizations around the country (which are sky high also). New Orleans/Baton Rouge is also one of the busiest ports in the country and they get paid for the amount of ships they can board. If they don't work, I'm pretty sure they don't get paid. When it is slow, they make less money. I know that for sure.

This is def not true. I know for a fact that pilots that work the Houston ship channel and pilots in New York make ALOT more than these guys are trying to make.
