his youth the long distant Express train railway drivers were the Golden Boys, revered by one and all, but now they turned up in greasy overalls carrying their lunch in a tin box. That's going to happen to us, he said.

Has it ?
Well if the tin box contains yoghurts, a flask of coffee and a juice box I think we know what the answer is...

As for the rest of it, and comments along the lines of how being a commercial pilot it is compared with other jobs...well I can see how things like in flight crew rest might make the job seem great compared with working a long day in the Square Mile but I’ve yet to see any evidence of glamour when I see colleagues reappear to from the crew bunks or cabin rest seat in the early hours of the morning...I must be flying with the wrong people......I guess some of the Instagram stars might manage it....

Good job...for some, yep....”Glamour” ..well even the celebs don’t generally dress up to go flying in F class these days, so you must be joking....
