If you truly wanted to stop the whipsaw, you would leave, pilot job or no pilot job.
You see my point now? The CEO's are not stupid, they know the seniority system makes it hard for us to move sideways, everything is stacked against us. To end it, leave the industry. But no, you won't leave, your deciding to stick around, and further the whipsaw.
This is what I find hilarious about the STW fb page... The answer is simple, quit. If every regional airline pilot quit tomorrow, things would change. Will never happen. So my point is, no pilot truly wants to end the whipsaw because they are unwilling to do what it requires.
Embrace it, live by it, decide by it.
