That article is clearly designed to make Jo Public think " pilots are w@nkers... how come I don't earn $200k?.....w@nkers".
I get the feeling that the article is the first shot in a media war that you guys don't even know you're part of.
You guys should release a story about management balls-ups like a previous poster said and include some examples of how a pilot can save the company ( or cost the company ) tens of thousands of dollars with a relatively routine decision.
That article is rubbish.
