Most of the Captains you fly with worked their way up the ladder via a number of tough routes.
The cadets of today wanted to jump the queue rather than work hard for selection or sponsorship.
The trouble you & your colleagues have is that there is a never ending list of guys who are willing to pay a little more than the guy ahead of him & take ever decreasing conditions just to get ahead , as you have done to get where you are.
The integrity of people in the industry has changed.
How can you now expect Captains you fly with to fight your corner , all they can do now is attempt to maintain their own conditions for as long as possible & I don't think that's going to be too long.
