With the way our economy is going, I don't foresee many people making 6-digit incomes in the near future. The globalization of the economy, in addition to increased technology will make many specializations less "special" for a lack of better terms.

The trend in aviation seems to be concessions and lower wages. I imagine what we'll see is a gradual increase in entry level wages (to incent folks to assume the ever increasing costs of training) and a decrease in the wages of higher end pilots (74 captains and the like) due to market supply.

Just my opinion, though. I may be full of it.
