You guys are funny! This career has always paid low wages, nothing new...There was a brief period in the early 2000's when UAL and DAL had good contracts and that didn't last long. Although the wages are decent now, there are no more pensions. At best, an airline career will give one a middle class lifestyle and that's about it. However, there are those that will retire wealthy relatively speaking but those are very few who made some good investment decisions. Norwegian is not the only problem on the horizon, there will be many other obstacles to face n it's not over yet. Having said that, an airline job is still not that bad of a career assuming one loves the profession.
