For the foreseeable future, as long as there are airplanes, there will be a need for pilots. Someday UAV's may change that...
I'm not sure profession is the right word to use. It seems more a vocation than a profession.
I still like to call it a profession. Most of us have college degrees and have had to study our butts off to get here. We forget that we could easily figure out what a manager does, we would just rather fly. I'm not sure how a business degree became worth so much more that an aviation degree, but that seems to be the case, despite the fact that we have peoples lives in our hands each day.
The bottom line is that people have been conditioned to think that a 39 dollar fare is the norm. Fares must come up, its that simple. Until the airline collectively figure this out, or Southwests hedges run out, its going to be tough on everyone.
