The original poster says its not capitalism, but its not true. Company wants to pay a certain rate. There is a group of pilots who agree with that rate and fly the airplanes. It's just that simple. Pilot shortage is a direct result of capitalism working as its supposed to. The company wants to pay a certain rate but there is not enough pilots for a variety of reason to satisfy their need for pilots. What to do?
It really is that simple, you compensate based on what compensation someone is willing to accept. It's no different in the business world where we accept or turn down jobs based on what we think we're worth.
