Ok... let me break this down for you. A first year Emirates pilot makes close to what a Surgeon makes in UAE... certainly more than average! An Emirates captain easily makes more than a surgeon in UAE. In most of the Far East asian countries, pilots still make several times more than a medical doctor. You want to accept it or not, American pilots (you and me) are the new cheap labor in the global aviation market. Denial is not a river.
