As a retired pilot with a paramedic son, I disagree. Most things are relative, and I'm of the view that most airline pilots are still very well paid - and have an enviable on-duty lifestyle (there are exceptions such as the Liverpool freight dogs). And the unsocial hours are more than compensated. I also think that the majority of RAF aircrew (and paramedics) might agree - fancy their 'unsocial' hours on their pay?
