Comment Not worth it... (Score 1) 157
From what I can find airline pilots make around $200/hour, so on a 5 hour flight the extra pilot runs about $1000. Assuming we're talking about a nearly full 777, that's about 3 bucks per passenger. I'll gladly pay that, and don't count on any "savings" should this go through being passed on to customers. It's just a cynical money grab.
