Profession???
What profession are you talking about?
I mainly see self serving cheap imbecils left to do this job and the exceptions are kept down by the vast predominance of that kind. Fact is that nowaday it is understood by airlines that any imbecil can fly.
Look at at EK... remotely controlled pilots! It is not a surprise that local Duabi newpaper refer at pilots as labor. That ii what an overwhelming majority are labor and ..becoming cheaper and cheaper.
As per the one that love flying...you may like your job but you don't tell your employer...fokker !!
