Management is paid to ensure that shareholders earn compensation for their investment. There is a market for good management who can do so, and few who are able. The pay of the able therefore tends to rise.
Pilots are a commodity - many people want to do it, many pay to do it, salaries decline when there is a greater willing supply than demand (just look at the excess of licence issues over available jobs).
The answer is to advertise to the world how boring the job is, discourage the young, make the job tedious, with early reports and late finishes.
Just maybe, one day soon, the sheen will come off the flying job - and the compensation may just rise in future...remember - tell every dreamer who dreams of flying what a goddam awful existence it is first.
Don't be envious. Management are people - just like you, they look out only for number 1.
