Dear Anonymous,

It is cruel fact that most general public have a very negative impression on pilots' profession in particular. Salary too high most people will feel. But they forgot pilots do deserved to earn their attractive pay packages.

It does take episope like the below story, for the public to appreciate and recognise the profession as a Pilot, who made the miracle for passengers to walk away from any potential fatal crashes.

The most touching words from the passengers I recall .... this pilot's excellent flying skills prevented the passenger's wife from becoming a widow and children from becoming fatherless in a spilt second decision.

I rest my case. Cheers
