Management said "ok we'll do that, but then we need the most junior pilots to earn $20,000 per year". The senior pilots at the table paused for a moment. About 30 seconds went by and one of the pilots said "We can live with that". All the other pilots at the table nodded their head in agreement.

In the age of short attention span theatre, I'm afraid that if the new generation of pilots rely on 3 second feel-good sound bites, instead of recognizing and negotiating from the complex chain of events that got us where we are, then the profession is lost.
Maybe George Carlin was right about the pu********ification of Americans. If pilots aren't willing to stand up and fight for what they collectivley can achieve, then at least stop whining.
