Supply and demand for pilots is the only thing that is going to bring wages up in this industry, it'll do leaps and bounds more than picketing and negotiating and flight bag stickers ever will.

Our job needs to be to make sure they don't figure out..

A way to increase supply... raising the age limit, decreasing the hour requirements, etc

A way to decrease demand... single pilot, loosened rest regulations, outsourcing to foreign carriers, etc


If we do these two things, everything else, from pay to scope to retirement to benefits to... etc... will take care of itself. Hopefully the major unions can figure this out before we screw it all up.
