However, the fact that people are no longer interested in the airline career, well, that is action. Action that is happening today. Action that will change the industry...for better or worse.
I suppose, but some people are interested... those that think (and rightly so) that they will have a good career once they put in their time. The RLA thing--definitely a barrier, but it could and has been done.
