I am sure that's true but pilots have to make decisions in "real time" - if things get a bit tough they cannot walk off and take a tea break or leave it till tomorrow!
You're not the only one.
Look, it is clear that pay no longer reflects the idealised image, and the responsibilities - supply and demand have unfortunately forced it down - but the comparisons with other careers are utterly meaningless - one can pick apart strands of similarities and dissimilarities: just don't bother, and have some respect for others' careers too.
