I propose the following:
Pilots are trained cost free by interested airline
Pilots are alotted a Career Total of Fight Time from ab initio to end of career
When the CTFT is reached the pilot is retired with benefits, to be established, but based on productivity and profit sharing etc
For example: I begin at age 22....hired and trained. My CTFT is, say, 18,000 hours. Flying 800 productive hours per year should come to about 21 years or so
At 41 or thereabouts I can retire with full benefits, young pilots take my place, and i can spend time with my kids and wife at home that would be normal and probably reduce divorce and uncontrollable kids.....
