It doesn't imply anything, they explicitly said they think it's fair:

> how "overpaid" train drivers are when in reality their pay is fair for the responsibility it's everyone else who is underpaid

You are the one who is implying something.

Maybe I am, so let's stick to exactly what noir_lord said

> > Train drivers can be paid as much as aircraft pilots

> that's as it should be

I understand this to mean that it is fair that train drivers are paid as much as airline pilots.

> in reality their [train drivers'] pay is fair for the responsibility it's everyone else who is underpaid

I understand this to mean that train drivers are paid fairly, and everyone else, including pilots, are underpaid, i.e. it is not fair that airline pilots don't earn more than they currently do, i.e. as much as train drivers, from which I conclude that it is not fair that train drivers can be paid as much as aircraft pilots, in contradiction to the first claim.

Where have I gone wrong?
