So send it to some flying magazines or a newspaper. I don't remember how long ago this was - may be old news.
I think you are absolutely right that there was no mention whatsoever about safety, which is always given lip service as being the number one priority at the airlines, and no mention about actual pilot wages and how much they have suffered since 9/11 in real terms. There's also no mention about the investment in time and money it takes to become a pilot.
