The airline career has deteriorated into a "blue collar" job. We are little more than truck/bus/taxi drivers with wings, ...stuck in the night shift with relentless challenges to our hard earned benefits, pay and quality of life standards.
What are our expectations? What can we do? What can we hope for? The airline business has become a mass transit industry. "Now everyone can fly" is the logo of paperless low cost carrier Air Asia. Carriers with the cheapest fares rule the sky. It's practical reality.
...and most pilots soon to be working for common wages will have a hard time earning expected retirement portfolios at any age.
