> Sure, senior pilots make as much as some FAANG developers

That's a funny way to phrase it. I'd probably go the other way and say "sure, FAANG developers make as much as some pilots..."

Those pilots have hundreds of lives on the line every day.

Those FAANG devs have milions of (social) lives on the line, though. Every day.

Yes. I think the average bus and train driver is completely underappreciated as well and they have a massive responsibility too. I know I could not do their jobs, it would weigh on me too much.
