Yes it a real shame to have one's lifes savings in the form of a pension eroded by more than 50 percent. Increasing the retirement age to 65 for some is not a gift... it's a requirement so they can survive and increase their chances of having some form of retirement to supplement their eroded pension plans. Good luck guys.

don't kid yourself. The worst commercial aviation atrocity in our history resulted in a 6 month decrease in appreciable passenger traffic.
I don't think there's ever gonna be ANY public clamoring for pilots to get restored payrates.
Only when there is education for those who aspire to become a major airline pilot realize selling their low-time ticket for $20/hour to a 121 operator results in the stagnation (plummet) of the profession will this ever begin to recover.
Until then ... don't use those dasderdly rudders <tic>
If you're an aspiring major airline pilot ... get your experience w/o going 121. You'll be doing yourself a huge favor. If you're a <2000 hour guy @ a 121 operation working for <$50 hour ... you'll do yourself a similar favor by finding another venue.

These days it seems that if one is going to have a real chance at a major airline the regionals and specifically a left seat in an RJ at a regional is the dominate path to success. I know I would be interested to hear what your alternatives are.
On another note I have suggested that we form a non-profit organisation that produces a DVD on the hardships one faces in pursuit of a flying career. I could host and we could solicit data and stories from everyone on this forum. We could mail it out to every newly issued student pilot licence.
