Not to mention the fact that year to year Pilot's don't have shareholders voting on their pay or whether they should keep their job.
Ohh the stress they must go through! You forget to mention that most execs could retire of a few years earnings. Can the same be said for a pilot?

The CEO can make decisions that effect profit (positively) to the tune of tens/hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm yet to see a situation where we pilot's can do the same
The almighty CEO, can also (and do) f*ck a company in terms of long term security, profits and sustainability, all in the name of pleasing the shareholders in the immediate future, in the process garnering their next fat bonus.

Bloody fantastic system for all concerned
