I remember the pilot introducing himself before take off, ash trays built into the seat backs and polite people across the isle...
I don't fly any more.

Flying sure ain't what it used to be. I'm not sure I'd bother with all the bull$#@! just to retain left-seat status. Besides, I was always fond of stunts, all of which would get me shot down or tossed in prison for the rest of my life, were I do repeat them today.

There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.
It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.

Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.

Sounds promising.
If you have to take out loans to get your ratings, it will take a long time to repay them. Salaries starting out are pathetic.

If you REALLY love flying, I'd suggest becoming a military pilot or get into aerobatics. ATP strikes me as a miserable way to go in the beginning, unless you start out young, and by that I mean in your 20s, early-30s at the very latest. My friend, we'll call him Jonathan mainly because that's his name, has finally graduated into larger aircraft (57s) after probably at least five or seven years of light aircraft runs between places like IAD and Beckley WV. As I recall, new pilot wages are really low. A while back new pilots were flying for about $11/hr, though I honestly do not recall how long ago that was or what they now earn.
Real money doesn't kick in until you've "paid your dues" in terms of experience. If you can wait a decade or two to get into a heavy aircraft, the salaries are pretty decent, though IMO they are still kind of low when one takes into account the responsibilities assumed. When I was consulting regularly I brought home about twice what a 747 pilot earns and the only responsibility I carried was to not spend the client's money unwisely. If I $#@!ed up, nobody was going to die... so you may want to think about that and whether you are good under those sorts of pressures.
The other day my wife had a fire aboard her flight. First officer was standing there with his thumb in his ass, frozen. She commanded he get out of her way, after which she cut power to the affected area and got the halon. She saved the lives of about 150 people at 35K feet. That one won't be making the 6:00 news.
Good luck, whatever you decide.

A while back, I saw that the average narrow-body captain pay in 1977 among the passenger airlines was around $125,000.
I think that it is in the same ballpark today.
The trend doesn't lie as to where the value of this "profession" is going.
Ultimately, automation.
Just like burger-flipping.
samey-same

Yes automation is technically doable, however it is a looooong way off from becoming policy. And the human factor is that most passengers are not going to trust their lives to a computer (as irrational as that may sound to some of us).
We may see full automation in my lifetime, but probably not full scale implementation during my career. Regarding the pay, right now $125k is about where the top end of regional jet pilots end up. That's almost 2nd year pay for major airline pilots now.
The first few years suck, especially with debt, but after that it becomes good money. And coupled with almost 15 days off per month, it's very easy to have multiple streams of income which I of course plan to do.
