An ATPL qualified pilot flying 744 or A380 on international routes has the lives of hundreds in his/her hands with every decision they make, often under great pressure.
If you are making life threatening decisions under great pressure everytime you fly international routes, may I respectfully suggest you deploy yourself to the domestic aviation scene.
Secondly, you will not secure public support or justify pilot wage increases by comparing them with Doctors and Surgeons or executive management perks etc,.
Keep the apples and oranges in their respective baskets.
