Whether that's right or wrong, the last time i can remember when getting into flying was 'good' was in the 60s! Ever since then the industry has lurched from crisis to crisis and coming into the industry has always been 'bad'. Look at it like this- you have youth. All us old foggies will have dropped out into retirement- somebody has to replace us (not that it will be easy to look as 'cool' as us old Dudes). Look at the way aviation is growing. If it's in your blood, and you have the fitness level, and you are literate enough, who else is there to do it?
