As I stated before, I am a conservative who believes in a free market, but greed can not go completely unchecked. Things have gotten out of hand.
I absolutely agree with you. It's called a market. The company is willing to pay a certain amount. The pilots are willing to work for a certain amount.
The difference in the middle is what is or is not negotiated. Hey don't get me wrong, I hope regional pilots negotiate a bundle, but pilots are not entitled to anything. Pilots are not in any way special. It doesn't matter how many seats there are. It doesn't matter what doctors or bus drivers earn.
