TOO many ego's in this thread. And EGO's are why this conundrum will be with this industry for along time to come.
Nothing egotistical about having the lives of 66 people under your responsibility and wanting to be fairly compensated for the role and the experience needed to get there.
A surgeon goes through the same level of training and experience. He/she is only responsible for one life at a time. They would never consider 100K per year to be fair compensation.
Keep on striving to lower the bar though. Sounds like the only way you'll ever be able to hurdle it.
