Best advice I have heard is it isn’t what you make but what you can save. Sock as much away as you can and set it and forget it. Airlines will come and go and as much as the industry has changed it is still the same... happy times and sucky times in a 10-15 yr cycle. Make hay while the sun is shining.

Our profit margins aren’t great but we also have a bigger portion of business travelers and higher net worth individuals who don’t feel whatever weekly financial crisis the news can create a nickname for. No pilot can move the rudder on a ship this big but having your personal finances in order make it much easier to not bring it home with you.
