This is like evolution... everything and everybody has to get better to survive. Fuel guzzling airplanes are going down the drain, nobody wants them anymore. Airlines will keep their experienced pilots as they will get rid of the ones on the bottom of the seniority list. Guys and Gals with less experience are going to be forced to instruct or they will have to fly freight for a little while. It is not a bad job to be a freightdog, you'll miss all the glass and there will be nobody on board other than you, nobody to ask and nobody to make decisions for you. It will eventually make you a better pilot or it will kill you. Just like evolution...

However, I think that things will get better, it's just a matter of time.

Good luck to all!
