Half of a mailman's salary...
And to think of all that education and training. It is over. A job that can not be outsourced yet here we are being displaced by a generation that is willing to work for nothing.
Well we can all still hope that he was being sarcastic...

If the older generation was not giving their jobs away in exchange for paltry raises (i.e. scope) then your slam against the young guys would be appropriate. But, it is not.
I think you realize that most of us enjoy flying but are not so fanatical about it that we would do it for half a mailman's salary for our entire career. They lure us in with the promise of higher wages 'someday' and that situation has been created exclusively by the generation before us.
Actually skyhigh, I hope in 30 years time I can look back and say it was my generation who took back what the old-timers gave away. It really peeves me when people trash-talk my generation you see, as we are the ones who will face far more hardships in our adult lives than those who worked through the golden-years.
