Good news - you too can become a pilot, get rich, and stop complaining on the internet!
I work in tech but it seems like to be a high earning pilot you just need to:
- practice flying for 1,500+ hours. That can take years unless doing it full time.
- pay 50k+ for pilot training.
- fly undesirable routes at weird times and to weird locations for 10+ years, until you “make the big bucks”.
- be away from home for approximately half the year.
- be on your “A game” daily otherwise you risk killing yourself and hundreds of passengers on your plane.
and more.
Wishing you luck on your journey, god speed complainer!

In all seriousness I can personally think of much easier ways to earn $200k+. I don’t think pilots are overpaid.
