Aluminium Shuffler,
Nope, I'm definitely not a manager - just not quite as impressed with myself as you seem to be with yourself. Must be great being a Grand Master of 4 dimensional aviation.
I don't deny the job has its challenging moments but let's be honest eh? If it really was that difficult, then airlines would be having to compete to secure the services of rare talent. As it is, any self-selecting and self-financing individual is able to acquire 10,000 hours of experience in about 12 years.
Your intimation that our special skills make us worthy of great reward is somewhat naive and a distraction from the actual situation. The only thing which will protect our conditions is if we stop acting like gifted and self-interested prima-donnas and start acting like a cohesive group of professionals.
