While I don't agree with the tone of some of the posts in this thread, the bigger question here, I think, is why it is that we, as pilots, seem willing to fly larger and larger equipment for less and less money? Especially in a time when even if the demand for pilots isn't growing (and I believe it is), the supply is certainly dwindling. Why are most of us, for the lack of better way of putting it, financially dumb?
