Thumbs down Money for Nothin'?

What's the go with airline 'pilots' being paid so much money? I mean what do they REALLY do? Why do they wear wings when they should be wearing gold computers instead? A pilot's a pilot, whether in command of a Cessna 150 or a 747-400. The differences begin when we look at what the crew/s have to use. The C150 pilot is single pilot IFR, with a fixed card ADF only (if they're lucky) whereas the 747 Captain is in a multi crew environment with every nav system possible and an autopilot to fly the thing! they also have trolly dollies to service the pilots....where the GA pilot has a 44 gal drum sitting next to him full of super next to him.who is earning their money?
