Fight? Fight who? Fight what? This is not a war. There is not a star chamber of eeeevil airline managers hunkered down in some smoke filled room plotting to "stick it to the pilots." Management is just a group of people trying to figure out how to make money by flying people or things on airplanes. Not that they are doing a very good job, mind you, but that is a different story.
The job is what it is. It is not going to go back to something even remotely resembling what it was. Airline pilots are still going to make a good salary, but it is not going to be like it was pre-9/11. The only thing you can do is decide if the rewards are worth the costs. If they are, great! Enjoy your career. If not, well then there are plenty of other ways to make a 6 digit income. But don't fool yourself into thinking that you are somehow going to reverse the past 30 years.
