It doesn't matter that these pilots averted a disaster with their quick actions, and potentially saved hundreds of lives as well as hundreds of millions of dollars for their company. These union thugs are still way too overpaid. Imagine that the captain of this aircraft makes over $200,000 a year!!! How dare he expect to be compensated on the level of, say, an attorney, senior CPA, MD or junior VP?

What has the salary of the pilot got to do with the possible collision of the aircraft and some vehicles?

Just wondering, is all.
