They can't afford not to. Either pay what the market demands or close the airline down. Feel free to work for less if you want to help your airline. For the past 44 years I watched salaries go the other way, lower and lower. It's about time they are heading back up. You are worth over 200k per year. My plumber makes more than that, my carpet layer makes more than that, my gardener makes more than that with all his workers.

There is no way this is true. My wife is a doctor. It is not even close.

You're right, I was intentionally exaggerating. At least about the training time... around 12 years for doctors before state certified? As far as the cost of education however, I read about $160K for med school if you're in-state resident. That used to be, anyway, about on par for a 4-year degree, plus flight training especially at a more expensive school like E-Riddle (I didn't go to Riddle, just case in point). And this was back when there wasn't this crazy hiring frenzy and flow programs, and pilots were buying their jobs at some carriers. Admittedly, those days are long gone.
