Here's an interesting thought: I recently sat next to a group of pilots on
a plane, and as we talked I discovered that I make substantially more
money than they do. Isn't it ironic that my knowledge-based skills are
valued (as indicated by the disparity of our salaries) more than the
skills of a person who is entrusted with the lives of several hundred
people?

Good thinking Bill! I enjoyed the entire post.
