To see the future you have to look into the past.

20 years ago airline pilots were paid almost three times more than they are now and had real benefits, job security and a livable schedule. Project that decreasing trend 20 years into the future and you will have your answer.

Whether or not there is a hiring boom in the future is irrelevant to what the wages, lifestyle and benefits will be. The hey day of the airline pilot is over and those who remain are there for love and glory alone.
