Well, seriously, what did you expect? Most modern employers in the airline industry are pretty poor when you compare them to other walks of life. Although there are obviously worse ones out there. Irrespective of your current t&c's, which may be anything from generous to appalling, most operators operate on a knife edge of profitability which leads them to reflect that in the way they treat their staff. Pilots are normally treated better than other staff, but we are far from immune from the cold commercial reality of 2013. When you see whining on pprune, it often reflects the degradation of our work environment, as well as the incremental de-professionalisation of how we are regarded by the rest of the world, as well as a general reduction in what we get in the pay check.
Maybe a better question is to ask if anyone works for an airline where, in general and over a sustained period of time, they feel 'things' have improved.
Sadly, I still can't think of one. It would be nice to hark back to the days of state flag carriers and the luxurious lifestyles of our predecessors, but they are long, long gone and will never return.
