Slight thread creep, but flying is easy. It's operating an aircraft that's difficult. And even harder than that is operating a broken one. Just so long as 1. Pilots are a legal requirement and 2. Foul-ups are expensive we'll still be needed and paid what we are. And only when training becomes cheap do we have to about management or cabin cabin crew. As for sim. checks, the more you do, the easier they become - provided of course you do the appropriate preparation. It's the medical that's starting to worry me - something else that is not considered by management and cabin crew.
