> All labellers are either licensed pilots or controllers (or VATSIM pilots/controllers).

I would think such people can make better money by actually working as a pilot or controller?

For sure they can! The vast majority of our reviewers make a few extra $hundred every week around their day jobs in aviation. Our target audience for this is the folks who enjoy spending their free time watching YouTube videos like VASAviation or PilotDebrief (like me). We get a kick out of listening to air traffic control audio and hearing what's going on in the airspace system.

And doing the quickmath based on the UI saying that 25,150 pts == $50.30 along with them saying 600 pts ~= 15 minutes of work... this is coming out to be ~$4.80/hr. No thanks.

EDIT: and that assumes perfect accuracy, the actual pay will be lower if you miss anything

Not all pilots have a commercial pilots license, without which you can’t get paid to fly at all.

Early career professional pilots make surprisingly little money flying.

And professional pilots of all sorts often find themselves in a hotel in a city away from home with time to kill.

Ah, I see it now. Totally read over that.
