Yes, but since when have pilots put their foot down to force these changes in the industry? Seems like the fear of losing the job and RLA have "frozen" pilots from being able to make these kind of changes in the industry, so someone has to step in? It kind of seems like you want it both ways, want to be able to sit back and let everyone else take care of the problems, yet complain when they decide on a different way to eliminate them?
