There can be comparisons done and I reckon I have an answer to the question. I also come from a position of authority whereby both my parents and an older brother are all school adminstrators (Dad now supposedly retired but he keeps going back for more consulting stuff).
It has been the subject of considerable discussion around the dinner table over the years. The verdict- invariably reached when I've missed another birthday or Christmas or whatever and aren't there to have an overt influence on the decision- is that I'm worth every penny I'm paid and probably worth a whole lot more. They also acknowledge that the issue isn't that pilots are overpaid but that school administrators are under paid- a point that Joyce doesn't articulate at all!
