Where has it all gone wrong….

Airlines are creating Microsoft pilots rather than aviators who can’t fly without assistance of computers.

Too many young entrants, many whom have been sponsored by family members are willing to work to poor terms and conditions and pay.

Oh… it’s not just the newbies… you can also thank the unions in the US who have rolled over on the industry and their fellow colleagues too… and what for… to concede to their lords and masters and take pay cuts, termination of retirement benefits, accepting medical insurance worse than that could be received by medicare. And the negotiators??? That’s even better… former union MECs working for those lord and masters responsible for negotiating those pay and benefits cuts.. Unfortunately, the disease is spreading around the globe, and there is no inoculation for cure.
