    For what these guys do, I bet they get paid very well and I suspect that they get trim tossed at them on a daily basis. Dream job? You bet!!

    are you serious? they’re glorified grayhound bus drivers.

    Fine Tiki,

    Why don’t you try landing 147,000 pounds (66,150 kg) of high-strength aluminum, 16 main landing gear tires and two nose landing gear tires,63,500 gallons of fuel, 65,000 pounds (30,000 kg) of cargo, + Passengers, at an average of 160 mph (260 km/h)and come back here when you do and then you can have room to talk.

    Also before anyone has any other brilliant comments about me making shit up, source: http://www.boeing.com/boeing/commercial/747family/pf/pf_facts.page

    oh look, ok, fine, they’re driving something twice the size of a greyhound bus, but with computers and guidance systems that are light years beyond the typical greyhound bus driver’s technical kit. They’re also driving a practical sardine can full of people paying bottom dollar to get from point A to point B, and often you don’t even get to see the damn pilot, they’re too ascared to come out of their super secure compartment.

    And if you have any doubts of any of this, I have a link too: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_does_a_Greyhound_bus_weigh
