If this thread represents the attitude, awareness, and knowledge of the issues affecting our profession, then sadly, our profession is lost. The future generation of pilots is inheriting a 100 year legacy of struggle and fights with the governments and airline bosses. To suggest handing over the richest consumer market to new entrants that don't have to play by the same rules as those imposed on incumbent carriers is misguided at best.

The arrogance to think foreign airlines, the likes of NAI will represent any kind of long-term industry-wide improvement to your pay, quality of life, retirement, or medical assistance is just laughable.

If you only want a cheap airline ticket on an airline with marginal infrastructure, the NAI's of the world may be the way to go. If on the other hand you're a pilot and want any semblance of a career, defeating NAI (and those that will follow) is the most important battle of your career.

The OP's man-boy tantrum is akin to "taking his ball and going home." But, when you get over yourselves, I hope you can man up an see the threat that's on your doorstep is a game changer, and you won't like the game.
