I cannot see how you read into my posts that respecting someone's privacy or not attracting attention to yourself (or your earnings) supercedes "Supply and Demand" when determining salaries is beyond me.
That said, S+D is not the only factor in salary pricing, for if it were all pilots would be paid the same and indeed, all CX pilots would be paid the same. We exist in an imperfect market. One factor (of many) that causes an imperfect market is the flow of information....
What I am referring is what the popular press call "tall poppy syndrome". Before the press gave it a name, not talking about one's earnings was called manners or "class". I think it is called "wisedom".
