By your logic I shouldn't be looking for a flying job either becauwe I will be **retired** and since I don't consider myself a "professional" pilot, if I wanted to experience "professional" flying then I would be wrong?
I have to disagree with your logic in this case.

Isn't that what he's doing. Unfortunately it isn't what he thought it was going to be. He's upset that these aren't the glory days he thought it would be and others are upset that they aren't getting payed/treated the way they thought it would be. This is today's industry.
