According to a recent study, yes!
While perusing the Globe and Mail I stumbled upon this article on the most trusted professionals.
Here's an excerpt of the article indicating that pilots rank 4th in "trustworthiness" in a listing of other professionals.
Canadians rate firefighters as the most trusted professionals, while chief executive officers are deemed among the least trustworthy — along with union leaders, politicians and car salespeople, according to a survey released Monday.
A poll of 1,000 Canadians, conducted on behalf of Sympatico.MSN, found that 93 per cent of respondents rate firefighters as trustworthy, followed by nurses (87 per cent), pharmacists (86 per cent), airline pilots (81 per cent) and doctors (80 per cent).
CEOs, on the other hand, are considered trustworthy by just 21 per cent of the adult Canadians who were polled by Ipsos Reid between Dec. 21 and 27. Only union leaders (19 per cent), local politicians (12 per cent), national politicians and car salespeople (both at 7 per cent) ranked below CEOs in the “whom do we trust” survey.
Curious to know how your profession possibly ranks? Take a wild guess where car salesman ends up on the list!

Who wouldn't trust firefighters?
...hot shirtless tanned guy with a huge firehose hanging around his neck and a cute dalmation puppy at his feet...
Who wouldn't trust nurses?
