How much should we make should we be rewarded for our bravery or punished because any 22 year old punk can do the job. (haha hopefully thats me)

Heres something I just thought of....

Floorers and roofers and plumbers and bus drivers and realtors and your next door neighbors nephew all make more than a pilot right? But how often out any of those professions do you hear of a floorer not being home for Christmas? Or a plumber losing his family cause he is only home 3 nights a week? Sure these are things we know to expect before we become pilots but shouldnt there be some sort of compensation from the companies?

Damn the man!
