They probably did it the way most such surveys do: by asking the workers to rate their job satisfaction.

I checked on "Airline Pilot" and saw that it was near the very top of the list. Having been one, having sat in crew rooms with many fellow pilots, and having jumpseated on countless flights, I can honestly say that I've never met a group of people that hates their job more.

As a rule, pilots love flying, and they like doing it well. What they don't like so much is the other things that come with the job. High on the list of what they hate is a culture that wants to put making money at a higher priority than having safe (and legal) operations.
The love of flying and the satisfaction of doing the actual job is far stronger than the dislike of working in a stressful employment situation. That's why airline pilots are high on the "job satisfaction" list.

It's not as common to find programmers who get real joy out of what they do, so the typical management's lack of understanding of good processes tends to skew the results more strongly to the negative side.
