Until we get some real form of unity here, I doubt anything like this would ever happen.
I heard about that pay package . . . I suppose that they could fire someone or many, but based upon cost of training new pilots and replacing Captains and FO's things could get costly in a hurry if they did that, since it sounds like they are short pilots (hiring unitl July / August) at lower minimums. What is it now? 850TT and 50-100ME. Scary if you are a passenger. . . .
