That supposedly normal cycle, I have yet to witness any evidence of that in my time aloft.
What I have seen is a steady and determined deterioration of working conditions on planet Earth. No stopping that, if you ask me. Surely salaries will go up, usually not by as much as they have gone down the years before though. And that is excluding inflation. If you want to become rich you must start up a flight school and keep on drivelling about that cycle that never comes. Don't feel bad about it, they got me
and I am sure there are plenty that will follow us.
