Lower expectation pilots=Lower pay

In the current mindset of AIRCON "We have a whole lot more we can squeeze out of pilot labor”... Lower the bar, NextGen ATC, Automation, MPL.

Mindset of pilot labor... It's cyclical; it will come back, Pilot Shortage!

I want to be the glass is half full guy but, this reality where highly compensated technical skills get replaced by technology has occurred over and over again in many fields over the last 100 years. If you have been at this 20 years and you're 45+ you're past V1. Too late to retool and perhaps enough ok jobs remaining to chase before it's all gone. All good things must come to an end. If you're young, love to fly, the job will be there for at least one more generation but the money is just a memory.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. There are many successful professional pilots today that are not happy.

Don't be one of them.

Be happy.
