I also have a friend who sells Oreos to supermarkets and makes 160k per year. He drives around and sets up end of aisle displays...and takes Fridays off.

Its a joke what pilots are working for now and I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to make it a career. Especially when you look around and see what others with lesser skillsets are bringing home.

I don't think management could care less about the 'quality' of their pilots. They just want warm bodies who will tow the line. As someone said, technology can make up for a lot of shortfalls. Of course management will tell you that you are the best and brightest etc. etc. etc. , as pilots love to have thier egos stroked. But in the real world, this profession has bottomed out and the prospects don't look great for a rebound anytime soon.
