From a libertarian I would have thought there would pay at least some thought to supply and demand in your post. It’s a government pay scale, so the fact is they are overpaying for positions where there is ample supply and underpaying for position where there is a shortage.

Someone who risks their life and/or lives under a less free lifestyle deserves the pay simple because that’s what is takes to get them there. And engineers, what a terrible profession to chose, the epitome of over supply.
