Prior to seven months ago, there was a huge pilot shortage. That translated to exceptional pay rates & work rules. Obviously now, there is almost no demand for our services. That will change, and the company knows this. The question is, will we as professionals with skills that cannot be easily “manufactured” quickly devalue our worth due to fear, or force the company to make difficult decisions that could easily backfire in a recovery?
I know what my time is worth. I have no interest in making management’s job easier. It’s just business.
