Seems like controllers make more than pilots. Interesting considering
that a bad day for a controller is nothing compared to a bad day for a
pilot.



I phrase it another way-
What is the value of lives of the couple of hundred people in the cabin?




You're only dealing with a couple hundred. The controller at a center
or hub airport deals with 1-2000 times that every day.

But my understanding is that, as a controller, when you have a very bad
day, you still get to go home. Not the same as having to land a 737 in
Hawaii after the roof has blown off, etc.
