At the end of the day people, including pilots, are primarily interested in their individual wellbeing. We talk about virtuous things like supporting local business, ethical business practices, etc, but at the end of the day most people place their emphasis on how price and convenience affects us as individuals. It is what is, and I wouldn’t expect things to change any time soon.
