Its quite simple we have too many Wannabe's and too few Jobs. Add to that a bunch of airlines that require you to pay for your endorsement and recruit on a first thru the door with a shiny new endorsement basis (Keen to get some jet time at any cost) and you have a situation that will only lead to spiraling pilot conditions (dog eats dog) and I suspect lowered standards. Its here now and probably will stay which is a damn shame. The guild sounds like a good idea but it won't do any better than what the unoins have allready failed to do because the ranks will still be full of the same greedies, wobblies, fat cats & wannabe's. It is the Business end that needs to change (or forced to change). How ? I have no idea.
