The degradation of T&C's in aviation is only partly due to new starters. Change (short of a revolution) occurs from the top down, and i see little attempt from the more "senior" pilots in airlines attempting to improve the lot of their more junior collegues. There is an old homily "the working class can kiss my ar*e, i've got the bosses job at last". It applies to pilots too. Want someone to blame for the slide of T&C's? Have a look in a mirror.
