The methodology and the determinators of our pay and any "special pay" are non-transparent.
Having served as a Federal Physician, first in the USN and now in the VA, for more than 38 years, I can categorically state I was never paid comparibly to my civilian peers. However, I never considered leaaving Federal service for the private sector. It would be nicce to end the fiction that we receive "similar" pay. We do not but that's not the reason most of use either stay or go. Job satisfaction appears to have more to do with it.
