Generally, this is an American problem. Most every other nation pays there pilots extremely well relative to the economic conditions of that nation. Most other nations do not have large GA segments in aviation, and the availability of trained pilots is very small. Pilots are often recruited based on aptitude, and are compensated based on the small size of the skilled labor pool. In more industrialized nations (western europe, for example), strong unions have upheld the standard of living for pilots. Most nations have only a handful of airlines, of which only one or two compete internationally. Those pilots can truly shut down the nation's air service if mistreated, hence their high wages. Only in America do we have a glut of pilots, and that is only because of the excessive wealth we enjoy. Thousands of families a year send their kids off to college to be a pilot, despite the high training costs. Even with reward dwindling, Americans can afford to send their kids anyway.

And yet so many so called capitalists decry the machinations of the system they so revere. Hilarious.
