Otherwise, I see us faced with the age-old question, "Why won't you help us? Do you really want to see us cut capacity due to a lack of trained pilots?"
You simply say to the company,
"There is a very easy way to eliminate most of your training issues, forever; pay everyone 777/747 pay."
That will eliminate the need to keep bidding up to higher paying aircraft to enhance your earnings. Everyone could bid what base/aircraft they like the most and stay there forever.
The company is always coming to us expecting us to solve the problems they created. I say, "Fine, but pay us FIRST, then we'll talk about fixing your problems."
Or tell them to call Pauli...
