From "Fate is the Hunter" by Ernest K. Gann written in 1961 referring to his early days at American Airlines in 1938. "We did not begin to fly because we might make more money with an airplane than we might if otherwise employed. Many of us are barely able to afford shelter and three meals a day; indeed some are existing on borrowed money, or have sold their personal possessions in order to manage through this training period. Yet we should each have been completely uninterested if the company had offered other employment". Goes to show this is not something new to the industry.
