I think that junior pilots at most legacy airlines today have a choice to make. Their jobs are not as secure as past generations and do not offer the same promise of a return. Even the better major airlines only offer FO's an income that only slightly beats that of a UPS delivery guy.
How are they supposed to feel good about spending a decade or two as a junior FO in the line of fire in a declining market? Of course UPS, FedEx and SWA are exempt from the above statement. However the next ten years could prove otherwise.
