Are airline pilots forgetting how to fly? As planes become ever more reliant on automation to navigate crowded skies, safety officials worry there will be more deadly accidents traced to pilots who have lost their hands-on instincts in the air.

If you look at recently published data about the ten top-paying jobs in America, you won't see a lot of variety.

Besides CEOs and airline pilots, the top-paying jobs in the United States are health care related and require years of formal traditional education.

Lawmakers now are wondering if such working conditions are more widespread and pose safety risks.
