The public is not on our side. If things aren't good for you now, don't wait around for some magic "shortage" to change them.
At the same time a lot of non-trolls are posting intelligent comments and getting a lot of thumbs up "WHAT DISGUSTING GREED!" "The ONLY reason the wages are so low is the fact that you and me, the consumer insists on the lowest possible price for a ticket" "Maybe airlines should consider paying more than a job as a part-time McDonald's night manager. I suspect their "shortage" will suddenly resolve itself." Someone actually thanked a regional captain for his comments "I thank you for your dedication to your profession and your obvious concern for your passengers" Hopefully more articles like this will help the public realize what's been driving those low ticket prices all these years.
