Krusty,
Its got nothing to do with skills and training......boning chickens or whatever. Its commercial reality.
Let me ask you a couple of questions and answer honestly to yourself.
Brain Surgeon V YOU as a pilot.
Which is far more important to society?
Which gets paid more?
Why?
My answers.....
the pilot is far more critical to the bulk of society than a Brain Surgeon
The brain surgeon
Leverage at the point of sale!!
Personally I think most pilots (not all, some are on such a good deal already) deserve a little more, but its commercial reality that matters or there are lots of unemployed pilots and just a handful of slightly higher paid ones.
Cheers
