Now when they say "carriers" I just can't force myself to believe they've consulted the pilots in any capacity here.

40% increase in payroll... well, look through those thousands of resumes you get. I'm sure you can find a few guys. Wouldn't it just be terrible, possibly the end of the world, if more pilots were employed?

I'm going to assume this delay is a cruel irony towards pilots, of Congress saying "we'll sleep on it."
