I believe that is how the law and medical industries run things, but the economic benefits of cheap air travel far outweigh a truly valued supply/demand relationship of pilots and management. The startup business in BUF can grow because of cheap travel and access to venture capital in BOS, SFO, ORD, etc. We subsidize that through depressed wages/benefits at the cost of a few thousand pilots, compared to the booming industries that we indirectly support.
