Eroding the profession has no bearing in this conversation, but if that makes you feel better about yourself at the end of the day, it's your call. How about these newbie pilots learning how to fly with zero common sense being taught, being totally dependent on their G1000, little to no stick and rudder skills, and crap scan due to "technology" handing them everything on a silver platter. We may not be contributing to the profession regarding our paychecks, but don't you dare blame us for "eroding the industry".
