I agree on teachers being undervalued in Australia but you can't really compare that with flying a helicopter or working in the mines.
They get danger money (I would like that at a few schools I have worked at LOL) and bering a helicopter pilot is no mean feat.
Also who wants to live there? It's hard work and your work span is not that long.
