More than half of world's airline pilots no longer flying - Survey
Jan 29 (Reuters) - More than half of the world's airline pilots are no longer flying for a living amid the plunge in demand during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new survey, and those that are still flying feel less valued by their employers. A poll of nearly 2,600 pilots by UK-based GOOSE Recruitment and industry publication FlightGlobal, released on Thursday, found only 43% were doing the job they had trained for, with 30% unemployed, 17% furloughed and 10% in non-flying roles.… (news.trust.org) 更多...

Being an airline pilot is the hardest way to make an easy living.
I know a guy who lives in TX, and spends most of his days in FL waiting for another pilot to "call in sick"....all the while out riding his mountain bike....I wish I could be "not working" like that.
Most of the "mountains" I know of in Florida are old landfills....
Sir, these are abandoned quarries (probably eventually to be filled with trash) ;-) Oddly, some great XC mountain biking to be had in Fl in the Santos (Cross Florida Greenway).
Know the Cross Florida Greenway (much of the path was long ago suppose to be a canal across the State, if you look at some old maps), btw, it is a great place. In S. FL one of those mountains, I help fill in, is on the edge of FLL's Class C airspace.... :-) --- Actually I personally like the area along US 27 for bike riding in Central FL.
any job,whether its a pilots position or the customer service agent ,is only as valuable to a company as the needs of the company require..for years pilots have been held in high esteem because of the training required for their jobs,and they have been compensated well for it..the airline industry has had many good years this past decade,and when those planes can return to the skies with full loads of passengers again or cargo,the jobs will return as well..
