Morphine to the eyes
Jes#s Captjns or what ever your nom de plume is, your post helps me go to sleep. Tell the truth, money makes the world go around. Retirement from such a demanding profession demands that pilots earn top dollar till age 55/60/65 (if you are that silly). EK/BA/CX/etc/etc are not paying the money. Until young chaps wake up and realize they are being exploited by hard nosed accountants for their enthusiasm to 'touch the stars' then what hope is there for this 'job'.
