Now pilots = school principals
I think it's impossible to compare the relative worth of two such different professions as these.
However, to put it into perspective, my old man has been teaching for over 35 years. He has a Bachelor degree and a Masters in Educational Administration. He has been a High School deputy principal for 10+years. He still hasn't managed to score a principal job (admittedly he has probably been a little fussy about which schools he goes to - same happens in our industry). Only a very small % crack the top job, whilst in reality, anyone who keeps their nose clean and works hard when required should crack a command once they get into an airline.
Not a fair comparison, looking at it from both sides of the fence.
