My opinion is that safety may be compromised by incompetent, ill-trained, poorly trained, forgetful, overly confident, fatigued, or distracted pilots; but safety is not being compromised by underpaid pilots because they are underpaid. If that were true, why is it that accidents still happen to airlines providing enviable compensation packages to their crewmembers?
Hey man, I'm a little concerned. Hopefully it's just your debating style is suspect, and you dont really believe what you say.
What about cause and effect? You think that a pilot or mechanic that second guesses a decision to buy a proper meal or is juggling foreclosure options on their house is in the best frame of mind to put 400 lives in the air?

Some doctors dont wash their hands, some doctors scrub meticulously under the nails and all the way up to the elbows.
Both sets of doctors have adverse outcomes in their patient profiles. Should we not practice basic pre-op hygiene according to your logic?
