Pilots stopped thinking about future pilots sometime around 1978. You're a bit late, young man.

Airlines are indeed safer then ever. And I know plenty of passengers and pilots would NOT trust automation in emergency situation for a good reason. I can't even rely on proper capture of ILS for goodness sake.
Besides, personally, I always try to think about others not just myself. But to each his/her own.

It’s frustrating reading comments like this being a “young man”. Then if I speak out I get slapped with being an “entitled millennial”.
Are we not in the situation with senior manning captains and “voluntary” moves because in theory the guys who let it happen are moving on soon? Obviously it’s not their problem either.
Seems that if people got together and broke that mindset and stopped the cycle we’d all be a little better off.

Seems that if people got together and broke that mindset and stopped the cycle we’d all be whipsawed.

My final comment on single pilot bill.
It is a way for airlines (cargo, passenger, doesn't matter) to simply battle pilot shortage and keep their pay leverage by paying us less then what we're worth. So yes, please do contact your representative cause it seems some "older" guys really don't care what happens to "younger" guys, although we should all care and it takes a whopping 5 min of your overnight.
