It's true that we are own worst enemy, but if "we" don't take the job, there are thousands who would. CFI's willing to take a pay raise to fly a jet. RJ pilots willing to take the starting pay at CAL. Other pilots willing to cross a picket line to advance their career. If everyone is not together when refusing poor jobs and pay, it won't work. I don't have an answer. I can only do my part.
