Well stuckgear....I dont agree with you. Sounds like a head in the sand approach to me.
However, RHS T&C's have diminished considerably over the last few years and will continue to do so.
The same will occur to the LHS over time, though perhaps not to the same degree.
Either way, in comparision with those professions you quote.....pilots will be vastly behind them on the pay and conditions front and the differential will increase.
Oh and since the appropriate regulatory body is happy to allow drones to fly in UK airspace from 2013 it would appear that your premise is somewhat wrong ! Its happening and soon !
