RAT 5
I completely understand your thoughts but believe you've missed the point:
- SOME of the LCC's will grow into more "established" carriers with full service and will compete with legacy carriers;
- unless politics change and protectionism returns some legacy carriers will fail as others have already (or been absorbed/realigned/bankrolled, whatever).
The expectation that getting into a legacy is a "guarantee" for your future is, at best, uncertain looking ahead.
I read in the news constantly the expectation is that people should expect to change jobs "6, 7 times or more" in their careers - why should pilots/piloting be so special to be exempt from the future?
Not saying it's they way I'd prefer it - but that's the way it is.
Deal with today and the future - or perish.
Cheres.
