Almost 30 yrs ago when oil hit 100 adjusted for inflation pilots made a whole lot more money. Yet today pilots are happy to work for less than half pay (adjusted for inflation) thinking the times have changed (price of oil). Funny no one told the oil guys times have changed, (tickets are cheap) they had better not expect so much money for fuel.
