OneWorld22,
I somehow don't think you are "feeling sorry" for pilots, but rather eager to spread the doom and gloom a bit further.
Regardless of what the markets are doing at present, unless the world is about to pack up the business WILL bounce back eventually, like it alwas has.
As to low salaries - this will create a SHORTAGE of pilots, because no one will agree to work for cr@p pay, having spent so much money getting the licence in the first place.
So just wait and see.
