So what?

All of these train and are paid specifically for the exception.
Pilots are paid to handle the normal aspects of flight,


no, we're not.

but these
aspects are increasingly automated. Eventually, pilots may work like
firefighters, being there only for the exceptions, but then they will
probably be paid like firefighters as well.

The key point is that a high level of skill is less and less necessary
when flying under normal conditions, and this encourages employers to
pay less and less for pilots.



Actually, I've nevr been paid more..

So, wrong again.
