Sad Thing...

Not a pilot...

But looking back over years gone by, "pilot pressure" was caused by flying new designs which didn't have the benefit of the engineering a framer can now put into a "B-whatever" or an "A-whatever."

Now pressure seems to be coming from tertiary and rather unimportant things like meeting schedule, fuel burn, et cetera.

Certainly not sticking up for the P2F crowd or the fact that such programs exist, merely commiserating about times past when flying was still a lucrative career and pax respected the captain of a flight.
