Fred,
In my case I grew up in a town where many of my friends fathers were airline pilots. They were rich playboys. In college they told us that getting there was not "half the fun but all of the fun". My observation spans from the trail end of when things were still good until now. I can take measure of how far the profession has fallen.
I do not think the "realities" are being accurately presented to new pilots. Most wash out at the regional level to a mountain of debt and to an outside work world that does not care for pilots.
