The only tangible information I have is th3 recent survey where 49% of pilots would not recommend the industry to new starters. Didn’t give reasons though.
Look, I am an LTC flying B737s, my Mrs was an IRE/TRE back in the day on BAC1-11s, my best mate was an F4 jock in the RAF... none of us have our kids joining this industry. fact.
