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.

Lots of jobs have a similar level of responsibility: school bus drivers, soldiers, ferry boat captains, train engineers, cops, school teachers, regional airline pilots, airline mechanics and none of them ever expects to earn 300k per year.
