It's important to remember that in my 50 years we have been here at the Majors 5 times with decent pay and living the good old life only to see it collapse time and time again. Deregulation in 1980, late 1980's when Lorenzo reared his ugly head was probably the worst and change the industry forever, ending Pilot Partnership with Management to "glorified bus drivers" (Lorenzo's own words). Then in mid-90's, 9/11 and 2008. Glad to see everyone doing well but were all one recession or plane into a building for it all to crash down again. Save your money and always always have a plan B!
