That’s helpful. Yes it’s not what it was but what is nowadays? I’ve got not exactly earth shattering news for you. The same deterioration that you say has happened in aviation is happening/has happened in every other industry. In the light of that I think you’ll find that compared to most other gigs the life of a pilot is still vastly better than your ordinary man on the street. My two cents.
