How about the top 80% of people who work at law firms are lawyers.
The top 80% of people who work at stadiums are professional athletes.
How could you compare a pilots wage to that of a ticket agent, a ramper, a flight attendant. The only career you could reasonably compare pilots to are managers. Pilots make more than a typical manager, but less than the top executives.

The last two attempts I am aware of, pilots trying to run an airline at Kiwi and the United ESOP were disasters.
Do pilots fly safer if they are making more money?

Yes!!! Because you attract a higher caliber of person into the ranks! If you are going to make being a Commercial Pilot job a "Mc Job" Then you are gonna get "Mc Joe Average"! Smarter -Brighter- and yes SAFER!
