I don’t think the point here was to literally compare pilots to truck drivers. The point is, almost every other industry has woken up to the fact that supply and demand necessarily drives pay and conditions. Airlines are struggling to let go of the dogma that has seen the pay and conditions plummet over the last 20-30 years.
Thank you gordonfvckingramsay, at least one person gets my point. I was about to delete the thread. The point is not about comparing the actual jobs, the point is that truck drivers can command a decent salary and it was deemed newsworthy. Pilots need to take a look around but judging by some of the responses on here then there is little hope.
