Buses don't require a second driver, if they did I would expect them to be compensated the same.
Comparing pilots to bus drivers is apples to oranges, but in no way should a pilot carrying the same amount of passengers be paid less than a bus driver.
Busses don't have autopilots either. Or air traffic control seperating them from others on the road. You certainly have to concentrate more driving a bus on a single lane road than you do flying a barbie jet at 500 mph at 37,000', with its autopilot coupled to the FMS.
Drop the high and mighty pilot attitude and have respect for other peoples professions.
Too many kids with a sense of entitlement at the regionals. Build your time, pay your dues, and get some experience under your belt, then ask for the big bucks.
Thats the way it works in this industry. Those that don't want to accept that should go drive a grayhound.
