> American Airlines pilots earn about $23,750 for 85 hours of flight time each month, and they have a maximum of about 30 hours of flight time in a seven-day period. With overtime at 1.5 times, they can earn up to $33,330 per month. Isn't this a really low wage in the US? Even here in Spain this is only an office worker salary. Not something as high-responsibility as an airline pilot. No wonder they have a shortage :)
