from a non flying side..no.. best is to take the stick right now,the carrot will surely come
but right now supply exceeds demand,but in 5-10 years unless progress towards automation is rapid then i see the return of sponsorships and entry level students as the supply of qualified aviators dries up and the community & governing bodies impose every more restrictive timetables on the operators
meanwhile, the more complex the system,the more careful you have to be..nothing designed by humans is perfect
