I agree with a lot of the theory. I'm just telling you, that thought has been the popular thinking since deregulation and what have the results been? For results we have to change the whole structure of the union system. Then it will change. I have what I think will work layed out. But there has to be one list and one group (Almost like a union). Fighting amongst regional guys will keep the system just like it is now. The proof is in the history.
What don't you get???
The "theory" starts to work when the bottom feeders can't staff. Yet the Mesa, Gojet, etc. cheerleaders keep encouraging everyone to come and work for those same bottom feeders. If the worst and lowest paid carriers can't staff, they will have to improve their pay and benefits. This will finally allow an upward trend, instead of continually downward pressure on benefits and wages.
This isn't "fighting amongst regional guys", it's a common sense solution that can and will work.
It's a lot more likely to happen than "one list and one group". It is already happening at Great Lakes, and Sliver. Lakes is trying to get around the poor pay and benefits with their 135 end run.
