Default Future

In the future the legacy airlines will continue to decay until they are essentially regionals flying bigger jets for similar wages.

LLCs will continue to take over the market and force wages downward. Domestic jet captain wages will continue to sink until it reaches a point where no one will show up for the job anymore at around 65 to 85K.

Most overseas flying will be taken over by foreign carriers who pay their pilots third world wages.

The good news is that hopefully it will take longer than ten years before all that comes into fruition.
