That’s a training school for continuing education that pilots from all over the world come to. If you actually knew the ideas and technology behind what you were talking about you’d be shocked

How long are the river pilots gone at a time? I honestly don’t care what these guys make. Capitalism is a beautiful thing. Just give every qualified individuals the same opportunity.

So basically river pilots don't get stimulus checks

Why does a river pilot get paid 3x what a similarly credentialed captain does sailing ATBs, Drillships, MPSVs, etc? Although some may be hawsepipers, and thus not graduates from a maritime academy, they all passed the same exams and have comparable sea service.

You cannot join an association without a 4 year degree from one of those schools. Also in order for you to get a degree from one of those schools you have to go through a rigorous academic course load with Coast Guard requirements, and also pass a 7 test CG exam where you most of the tests require a 90% to pass.
I guess English isn’t part of the curriculum at any of these esteemed institutions.

Your odds of getting medical into medical school go way up if one of your parents was a physician, to the point of being selected over someone with higher grades and test scores, says my physician wife that was on a med school selection committee for years.

Many many doctors and lawyers take over family firms and clinics over the years
Same with car dealerships
Same with politics
God damn some of you people are so naive

Yes they get paid about 650,000 as I said before but they are considered independent contractors and thus have to pay about half of that back in taxes. So let’s just say they take home about 375,000 which is still great money.
Do you even LLC/S Corp bro?

This. I know of someone who I went to high school with who's father was a pilot. Her brother is also a pilot to nobody's surprise.
