Regional airline pilots have the power to change this, but there are too many selfish/scared ones to force the airlines to pay a reasonable/fair wage. Why do you think the gov't should fix this when the regional guys won't even do it when they are the ones who benefit directly and have the power to change it? After the majors deal with a pilot group with a little determination they know they can fall back on the selfish ones who are willing to bend over and sell out. Sorry, but it's the truth.
