I think you and the pilot community have got to accept that the whole of the aviation community are on the slippery slope....
The days of glamorous stopovers, high class hotels and jobs for life are coming to an end at the big (flag) carriers and ARE over, if they ever existed, at the remaining.
Face it, with automation and increased reliabiltiy, safety and the 2 man flight deck , flying aint what it used to be and the airlines powers that be know it.
People are always going to want to fly for a living and will take whatevers offered, as they do now. However if they are still happy after 10 years in the job is a different matter.
If you are not happy , you know what the answer is.....
