My purpose here is not to make anyone feel bad about being a pilot in a modern automated plane but to point out that there are few restrictions to the professions anymore.As time goes by a pilot is not really building much value in their career. It really stinks to get laid off. pilot has few options and none of them are good. It is nearly impossible for a senior pilot to be able to replace an airline income once it is lost.

Unless however they are willing to work at the dump.
