As pilots get older and more experienced, their pay rates go up. As athletes get older and more experienced, their pay rates go down (to zero) when they retire.
That being said, by the time they retire they have waaaaaaaay more than enough money in the bank to do so. I just think it's bordering on ludicrous comparing a run of the mill pilot to a sports star.
Come back to the real world and we'll talk.
