Could you save the melodramatic opinions for the tabloids and try backing up what you surmise. (And that's "themselves", "Government", "active" and "financed".)
I'm no economist, but the aviation industry cycles through "booms" and "busts" like any other industry trailing the national economy. Pre-requisite experience vs training on-the-job has historically been a part of the labour market in not just the aviation industry for the better part of the last 3-4 decades. Whether prospective employees pay/don't pay, demand a wage/work for less is inextricably linked to the health of the industry and the economy. An open mind and calculated flexibility will get you further than clinging on to yesteryears ideals in todays market. Success favours the resourceful not the stoic - I've watched it happen around me at multiple levels in several industries. Besides those that you would accuse of killing the industry, be they employees or employers, would be by far the minority IMHO. Wake up and smell the daisies - times are changing.

Thank you - my point exactly.
