And that's just going to be a "boo hoo" moment as far as anyone outside the industry (and probably many within it) is concerned.
No matter what you think you are worth, you are only worth what someone else is willing to pay. Right now, they don't think you are worth as much as you do.
Ultimately, you are still being recompensed for those "costs" to a greater degree than most who also bear them. Paying you how much more makes it ok to not be able to coach your kid's footy team, or miss birthdays?
It will be a boo hoo moment for the general public as the pilot pool dries up and airlines struggle into the future.
