The aviator postman receives an annual salary of between $4,000 and $9,000. The high pay, plus the desire for the excitement of flying, recently caused two field superintendents of the service to desert ground jobs and return to piloting. Both now fly regular mail routes. The mail pilot receives a base pay of between $2,000 and. $3,600, depending on length of service, and is paid in addition by the mile for flying service. For daylight flying he recelves a five-cent rate between Cleveland and Cheyenne, six cents between Cheyenne and Reno and seven cents between New York and Cleveland and between Reno and San Francisco. For night flying the mileage scale is doubled. The hazards of mail piloting are held by postal officials to justify the pay. i, samigraldin e 8 Schwab Escapes in Wreck.
