If the so-called Golden Age was a time when passengers paid a fortune to ensure pilots could enjoy a well-paid sinecure, then that time has indeed ended.
The fact is that pilots still get paid well, even at the locos, when compared with other professions who work far harder for far less.
Is it glamorous? I don't feel glamorous on the flightdeck unless I'm wearing my heels, but is that in the slightest bit important?? If you became a pilot because of perceived glamour, you're not my cup of tea.
