Spot on mate!
Congrats.
I think our career prospectives have been continously spiralling down for the latest 30 years or so.
Unfortunately it doesn't look we are about the reach the bottom.
Lot's of youngsters happy in selling mom to have a seat on a flight deck.
On the other extreme, old farts selling themselves very cheapely, after decades on legacy carriers (and fat pensions), for more few years on the same flight deck.
Disgusting.
