This is the same thing only rationalized with a different wrapper. In fact though, it's potential for destruction is FAR worse then the former ideal which only hurt the pilots AT the carrier for the most part.
The "carrot" is still in use, only now that carrot comes from someone else's garden and what happens to that garden should it become decimated as a result ?
Let's hope YOU don't end up a resident of one of those gardens in the future.
Look, the market dictates that airlines need to compete for pilots. I don't have a problem with that. If my regional goes out of business, oh well. I have a plan B and feel bad for those who don't (but should've). I only have a problem with an MEC agreeing to concessions in direct exchange for a fleet commitment. That's just my opinion and it happens to be different than yours. Why do you even care anyway? Is not the West's supposed trifecta more of a concern to your current situation?
