Not quite that much but the river pilot mafia ensures they are massively overpaid
They navigate boats up and down river from the gulf

You think it’s easy?
Do you have any idea how long it takes to become a river pilot?
You can go to med school and become a doctor quicker than you can become a river pilot.

Not sure what they make in 2019, but circa 2005 i dated a girl whose father and three brothers were all river pilots (nah, no chance of any nepotism there...) and they each made about $400k.. not sure if it’s increased to $700k in < 15 years, but ya never know.

With extra work they can make that and more. What do they do.....Something that most people cannot do, they earn every penny.
NOBRA pilots have the most difficult track n the Country due to the bends in the River.
