pilots get paid what their employer thinks it will cost to replace them with a new employee with similar skills and mechanics get paid what their employer thinks it will cost to replace them with a new employee with similar skills. Therefore pilots and mechanics are both paid in the same manner. Everything else is just mumbo jumbo better suited for a useless economics class paper.
If you're going to spend a bunch of your life lamenting about what you think you "deserve to be paid" because of a,b, or c reasons, you might as well be a public school teacher and at least enjoy your summer off. It will always be easier to switch careers than to attempt to change the market forces if you're not happy with your pay.
