I don't have numbers to back this up, but one of the major reasons of joining one of those organizations is to join a commercial airline upon retirement, and then earn the big bucks that you didn't get while in service.

I hope everyone got the ironic reference in the headline "Miracle on 47th Street."Jeanne Boyarsky wrote:I found it interesting that the pilot served as an Air Force pilot. I'm sure they provide much more intense flight training than an airline.
Just to clarify/expand Henry's comment, the plane DID land in the 40's. The headlines all said "Miracle on 47/48th street." (At least they did that day; they seem to have been changed to "miracle on the hudson" by now.)
I'm not sure what "hydroplane" means, but I have flown in a lot of seaplanes. I don't recall the flight attendants or pilots ever fumbling for a word to replace "landing", so they must call them landings. I would have noticed otherwise.Mike Simmons wrote:I wonder what hydroplane pilots call it though?
