So I was reading about the Boeing 777X test pilots and it got me thinking... these guys have a seriously tough job. They're not just flying from point A to B. They're pushing these planes to their limits, testing everything-software, emergency handling, you name it. Imagine being in a cockpit with a plane that's not fully finished yet. That's gotta be both thrilling and nerve-wracking!
I heard they're making pretty good money by 2026, but does anyone know the exact figures? I can't even imagine what the pay scale looks like for something like this. Also, how does one even get into a role like this? I'm guessing you'd need tons of experience and probably a background in engineering or something?
For those who know more about these pilot gigs, do you think the pay justifies the risk and the responsibility? And what about the career path? Seems like there's a lot more to it than just flying the plane. Would love to hear your thoughts or if anyone has any inside scoop!
