In all professions people struggle to retire as earlier as possible. Just the f pilots struggle to retire later.

This is a proof that most of them have a chicken`s brain and awful personal life.

It`s when I read this kind of things , happily suported by pilots that I realize that our profession is really plummeting down in all aspects. And there is definitely no way back. Expect even poorer work and salary conditions.
In Europe , there are already big companies (with over 30 airplanes) paying 3300 NET to A320 Captains.
Don`t let to cross your mind that this is the bottom of the well. There`s more to come.
The future will be working untill 70 or more taking home a 2000 euro Net salary (for Captains of course) and having to move around all the time since the quality of jobs will be more and more volatile.

There was one time this was a gentlemen`s profession.
