Ya know I've had thoughts along those lines too. Hire every single last ME3 pilot with an app in...overnight & offer them a Business class seat home & signing bonus if they leave within 24 hours. Then once they get here get the contact info for every person they know that hasn't applied yet and recruit them within days. Between the Legacy US & European carriers we could ground the ME3 within a week. It would have to be a co-ordinated strike but there's no laws against it, we need the pilots and it might be cheaper than p!ssing away $$ on Capitol Hill where were being outspend 10:1.
It's time the gloves come off.
