"I still insist that getting rid of seniority at the regional level would solve the issue of low pay and simultaneously eliminate the "pilot shortage.""

That would make the career more attractive and more guys would want to become pilots...BUT is would not help the shortage...because you need a LOT OF MONEY to become a pilot...way more relative to the average income thann in the past, AND you can't get a bank loan anymore to pay for all your training, like u could in the past...
