ALPA should have taken out a superbowl ad saying "Despite what you hear, there's no pilot shortage! Just a shortage of pilots wanting to fly for $19,000/year"
Or at least put it on billboards in the most major markets...just outside of ATL, JFK, ORD, IAD, DEN, etc...the customers would get the point...and then they'd go find the lowest fair possible and complain about the size of the jet. But at least they'd see the argument before Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and the other idiots get a hold of it.
