Another example is the injection of yttrium-90 radioactive glass or resin microspheres into the hepatic artery to radioembolize liver tumors or liver metastases. These microspheres are used for the treatment approach known as selective internal radiation therapy.
Meanwile, the senior-most pilots at Delta, who fly B747s and B777s, earn around $245,000. Working for 35 years and rising up the seniority ranks as a pilot at a major airline can mean career net pay and benefits of about $10 million, Darby says. Itâs a great gig, if you can get it.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics, BLS, reports that airline pilots earned an average of $118,070 per year in 2011.

This is far more than most commercial pilots, who reported an average income of $76,050 in the same year.
