At the risk of sounding insensitive , I assure you I'm not, just one point.
A corporation only exists on paper and is a non-living non-breathing entity that is designed expressly, in theory, to make money. To assign a human emotion to an inanimate object, even when it's staffed by humans, will usually result in frustration.
That point aside, when entry level pilots stop accepting jobs at subpar wages the resulting labor demand will respond in a predictable way. Of course it never happens fast enough.
