The summit likely consisted of:

- How can we pay the least and still get butts in the seat?
- How can we spin this to be the fault of the pilots?
- How can we spin this to be the fault of the new ATP requirements?
- Here are the projected future hiring and ATP certificate entrants in the industry. How can we best use this to maintain downward pressure on overall pilot compensation?
- How can we maximize profit at the regional level by delaying advancement to the major airlines and using larger aircraft at the regional level? This will decrease total time at a major, thereby decreasing total lifetime compensation.

- How can we spin all of this to make it look like a great career despite the exorbitant entry costs and poor compensation?
