very interesting times for pilots: kids, mortgages, cars, retirement, etc.. they are all demanding but just liking your job will not satisfy these things..liking your job as a pilot is just a benefit and this does not make it right to bid down a very techinical and highly responsible job to the lowest bidder. All of you who prepared and made flying your second job are a great example...If you can make a living on flying as your first and can do well $$ GOD has smile upon you and dont ever forget it.
