Interesting NYTimes Article RE: Aviation and Skills

A pilot I know forwarded me this interesting article, and I thought it was worth linking to. The author makes two good (but IMHO unrelated) points regarding the decline of flight crew wages and the consummers' expectation for $10 international fares (exgaderated obviously).
