This job must be very desirable.
People seem keen (even proud!) to do it for less, and less. In fact people are prepared to pay through the nose, to be trained to do it.
As a group we are our own worst enemies. Eager to increase our own company's market share, even though it may be at the expense of those whose salaries, and lifestyle, are viewed (subjectively) as unsustainable!
Combine this with people's rabid eagerness to work longer than ever, to earn a pension, rather than fighting for improved pension provision!!
It's not rocket science to see where this leads. However cheap you sell yourself, there is always someone else willing to sell themselves a little cheaper! Console yourselves that your hard work always serves to handsomely reward the Board!
As an additional issue, the 'enjoyability' of the job has fallen off a cliff since 2001. Now every man, and his dog, can interfere in all aspects of your life, in the interests of 'security!' (Even though nothing has made the job any safer!)
Flying an aeroplane CAN be fun. But expect to pay a heavy price in all other aspects of your life for the 'priviledge' of doing it.
Chances are, you'd be better rewarded as a plumber!
