You get what you pay for. As things shake out in this industry, why would anyone with any ability or talent want to go into it. I love to fly, but if I was going to make peanuts for a flying career I would have gone into another endeavor and then flown on the side. Why would any highly trained military pilot leave for what is becoming available in the civilian world? The flying public that pays $4 for a latte and then surfs the internet for an hour to save 10 cents on a ticket are going to get exactly what they pay for. This is just a wake up call for what is on the horizon. Management may think they can buy an aircraft with all the latest doo dads that anyone can fly but when it comes down to it, experience, talent, dedication, and many other factors make the individual pilot the only reason the system works so well today.
