What? I don't know a single pilot that hasn't been skeptical for oh, I'd say a decade or so. A lost decade. They know now is the right time to hold out for more. Can you build artificial-confidence in a group that is jaded from strikes, furloughs, and excessive years at the regionals (the same decade, see above) or those on their 3rd or more airline?
OK. I'll try. GO GET UM BOYS! (trumpets...) CHARGE!
