we are not bus drivers

How dare you compare pilots to bus drivers.
bus drivers are highly trained professionals
they take at least 8 weeks to train.
Most of them are highly educated and do charity work to boot
The constant stress they are under is recognised by the authroities and hence work hours are highly regulated
Compensation and benefits are in line with the high skill level they posess
in london starting salary is 50k with benefits thrown in raising the package to £75k plus
There is no comparison
