Pay @ Airlines
Well heres my thought on the matter. I have always liked looking at this in a level of responsibility. If an executive makes a mistake it might put a company on the rocks, he11 it might even cost a couple hundred jobs, but if you do the same they could be looking for an equal number of body bags (if there are any body's left to bury).
Remember that a surgeon might make 300K a year but he too only has 1 life to handle at a time. With the new 380 on the market, you could easliy kill 500 in one afternoon. I think that kind of responsibility requires a little more compensation.
