I hate to say it but that's where the industry is headed in the current economic environment. The piloting profession may well become a "blue collar" industry, albeit the higher end of the strata, given the realities of today's economy. I can see airline pilots becoming nothing more than glorified bus drivers (no offense to Greyhound/Trailways employees). It's just a fact of life. It's simply supply and demand economics.
Glad to be flying for fun now !
