When did you last hear of a hijack and overpowering of a "barrister / banker / solicitor / surgeon / doctor / nurse / MP"?
You didn't because these people do not have alot of lives collectively held by many, single, moment in time, judgements.
That's why it's different. Medical professions can deal in life or death, but generally it's singular. The rest of the professions you name are not involved in death issues at all.
Pilots have far higher standards expected of them - I'd say rightly so.
