are two very different questions, with two very different answers.

(Thinking here of all the fat-cats on the various gravy-trains..Pilots earn considerably more than their pay, IMHO. The "system" relies on their love of Aviation....in effect, they payapremium to be allowed to fly.
I don't see a change anytime soon!.

Lovely concept, but - of the several things that I'm qualified to do professionally, flying is in many ways the most enjoyable, and seldom the most demanding. It may, perhaps, be the skill the least number of people are able to pass the qualifications in, although probably not even that.

We all ultimately earn what we get paid, and that's whatever the market will bear. The system needs everybody from the cleaner to the MD - or it would dispense with the dead wood.
