Airlines have no problem raising prices to account for higher operating costs all around. They should have no issue raising prices across the board for higher pilot costs. Oh wait, we would need to stop having pilots selling their soul to operators for poor pay.
Until pilots as one group become a unified voice, I fear we will never get that simple raise that is needed in this industry. Look at several other careers and vocational trades that people can go into right out of school with starting pay that puts our industry to shame...
If airlines universally added $10 per ticket sold that would generate plenty of revenue to pay pilots better across the board. This would help so airlines could keep all their revenue they're making and not cut into it to pay pilots better....
