No, you in fact are the idiot and I truly mean that. I didn't say that I LIKE things the way they are, quite the opposite. But if you cannot understand the reality of the situation you have no hope of ever changing anything. In your little mind, you cannot concieve solutions, only people to blame...so who are you blaming?

Management? Plenty of evil here, but they are a force of nature...you can blather all you want, but wishing for THESE folks to change is like p*ssing in the wind, only a lot dumber.

Entry Level New-hires? They are willing to work for the same minimum wage that they ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. Nothing about entry-level pilots has changed AT ALL! What has changed is the size of the airplanes that are available to them...whose fault is that?

Regional Lifers who want CRJ900's, 1000's and airbuses? Sure blame them all you want, but you're not going to change them. They're not going anywhere, so they would like to make more money where they're at...and bigger airplanes is an easy way to do it.

The ONLY pilots who have the experience, wisdom (maybe), and leverage to understand what is happening, see the long-term good, and actually do something about it are the major/national guys who can negotiate scope...and ideally single regional seniority lists for each brand. The regional pilots don't have any leverage against mainline because mainline has diversified their regional flying.

Ok, go back to your xbox now and maybe think about this stuff for ten years or so.
