The US free market is speaking right now. Things are changing for the better and when the majors pick up hiring, there will be even more change. CommutAir was just the beginning.
How would you feel if the US government allowed the majors to hire any pilot in the world with "1500" hours. Pilots in SE Asia would come over in droves to work for $38,000 a year and might actually even do it for less days off. Happy free market to you.
It's not a boo hoo party for me. 15,000 regional pilots make horrible wages. How is this system not broken? yet no one cares or does anything to help us out. suddenly alpa cares about nai? What about it's own pilots who make way less than what these foreign guys pay. its sad how far down the river the pilots in this country have been sold. Open your eyes and look what happened right here its way worse than little ole nai or any other foreign carrier.
