I fully agree that a lot of pilots lower their expectations but this is because of supply of demand that governs every industry.We live in a world of competition,if u dont want the job on whatever terms someone else might want it,u have to live with it whether u like it or not.
Personally i dont like that David Beckham makes so much money,first of all because he is a f...g and second because i believe that a pilot should make more money than him,but i can live with that idea.
