You can both have valid perspectives.

Funny thing about perspectives, isn't it?
My response was completely irrespective of pilot
anything.
If you are a top 2% earner, in one of, if not the richest countries in the world, complaining that you don’t “make a lot of money”, I submit you need some perspective.
That’s not to say we pilots don’t warrant a raise, nor that historically there have been
really some hard times. But in the end, I think you’ve lost touch if you don’t think $240,000 annually “isn’t a lot of money”.
I think you also missed the context around his claims around how long it took him to captain, juxtaposed with his statement about what does not constitute “a lot of money”.
