It's because of the Warrant Officers in the past like you that have killed this industry with pay.

After Vietnam there were a huge amount of pilots without degrees, or any way to go into a professional career.

Companies paid what you valued yourself at, and at the time, all of you valued yourself low, very low.

After years of people with no where to go and just flying because that's all they could do, we end up here.  

In a non professional, low class, uneducated, group of people who can't get the stuff together and the industry runs away making tons of money while putting you in harms way.  That does not make you a hero it makes you dumb, because this is not the Coast Guard or the military, or volunteer.

They are making money on your ego, and lack of intelligence.
