> Hang on a minute. How do you square your claim that it's as it should be that train drivers can be paid as much as airline pilots, with your claim that everyone else is underpaid, including, presumably, airline pilots

What is inconsistent about those two things?

You can simultaneously believe that train drivers and airline pilots deserve to be paid more.

As payment is very much a "relative" problem, giving everyone else more, means essentially giving train drivers less.

But that's not what noir_lord thinks. He/she specifically said

> their pay is fair for the responsibility it's everyone else who is underpaid [my emphasis]

which implies that train drivers are currently paid the correct amount.

It doesn't imply anything, they explicitly said they think it's fair:

> how "overpaid" train drivers are when in reality their pay is fair for the responsibility it's everyone else who is underpaid

You are the one who is implying something.
