Again though this shouldn't be about how much a principal is or isn't paid. I've seen the work load first hand and I've seen the stress, the angst, the out of hours work and even the physical assault that comes with school administration. They are woefully underpaid. Whether what they do earn should be compared with pilots is a nonsense however I keep going back to the issues my family articulate. Whilst they reckon they deserve more ( ); they reckon I'm not paid nearly enough for the back of clock flying, jet lag, feeling like crap, missing birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, stuff that crew go through on a daily basis.
