Simple question: Firstly, I admit I'm out of it. Been there, done that, got the tee-shirt.
Considering what has happened to the profession, and not laying blame on anyone, would you suggest your son or daughter to follow in your foot-steps and become an airline pilot without the guarantee to join a legacy carrier: and stump up the cash for them to do so?
Not me! But then I've no kids. It's easy. If you also say no; why not and what are you going to do about it?
For everything else in the world I hear we have to leave it better for our children. Why is this not true of our profession?
