I know i brought this up in the "what would it take to bring you back" thread.

I voted yes, but totally feel and understand the concern of current pilots so if it never happened I'd be perfectly ok with it. What I have seen are quite a few pilots (myself included) who'd love to fly 121, but won't do it for current rates...and likely wouldn't do it even with a pay bump.

I've gotten out of the biz, and have a pretty steady, very stable $90k/yr job that I couldn't imagine giving up just to say I fly a jet again. A lot of guys I work with have mentioned that same thing, that they'd happily give up a weekend or two a month to fly planes.

I think the unions would and should fight this tooth and nail. There is the possibility that it would attract pilots back to the profession who have no interest in making a full on career change...and might allow some current pilots a chance to explore other options, but it could immediately put the jobs of every pilot on property in jeopardy...

In order to minimize impact to the company, or make it more financially feasible, I'd imagine the company have a termination clause in the pilot's contract that requires employment for 3-5 years with no upgrade, and some type of minimal (if that) pay increases.
