Come on....pie in the sky to think the airlines would do something as noble as stop undercutting each other by a dollar to turn the industry around in favor of pilot pay/qol. Why should they be any different? Thats like saying banks should all stop charging all those extra fees to help consumers pocket books.....or grocery stores should all stop trying to run daily specials in order to drive down food prices overall.....or gas stations need to stop undercutting each other so we call all enjoy lower gas prices. Great theory but it will NEVER HAPPEN in our profits-at-all-costs based society/economy. The genie is out of the bottle.
