Aviation is one of those businesses where there's rarely pressure to raise rates to match waning interest in hard work at low pay.

They'll cut minimums and the resumes will come rolling in once again.

In the 30 years I've been in I've never seen waning interest. I've always been curious about when that's going to happen. I still run into young people that want to fly no matter what.

That makes it even more important that ALPA navigate the shoals very carefully now to be around for the deep water later.

It's kind of like when Al Haynes and the guys in UAL 232 lost all their hydraulics. There was no question it was going to be a bad landing. The question was could it be at all survivable?
