Many seem to be occupied to justify the profession compared to other professions. You need to compare the value of work force. There is of course many from the golden egg days sitting on their mountain, with their views of their truth.
They have worked hard for what they have and deserve it, no envy.
A tube driver will today make more than a pilot.
A bus driver will most likely make more too.
A banker, an accountant a solicitor, a doctor, has the chance to make money without limit depending on talent and ideas.
For a pilot there will be an upper limit, which year by year is decreased to what in the end will be a joke, considering the professions dinosaur history, it will follow and become extinct.
