My brother works as a pilot. There are now lifestyle pilots who once trained, and have jobs as 1st officers—on shitty wages—become influencers. For example, one guy he knows, has a contract with Bose. He's pictured in the sky, beautiful blue background, 7 miles up, sipping a Nespresso wearing his beautiful Bose headsets.

My brother said, 'It doesn't really matter, the plane flies itself these days. He just has to be there, in case something happens to me (the captain).'

—Well, that's OK, then.
