I know it won't happen, but I'm sure things will turn for the better. This whole mess of a situation with airlines, pay, QOL, etc. is a direct effect of deregulation.
Oh, and as for unions...that's a joke...for a person looking in from the outside, it seems that unions have done nothing but accept concessions, concessions, concessions, concessions, and oh, I forgot, more concessions to whatever the airlines want. After all, it's the airlines writing and signing paychecks, not unions. The recent news of NWA working out a tentative agreement probably has union concessions written all over it. And I suspect the Delta situation is going to be the same. Concede, concede, concede...when unions stop conceding, and for airlines to raise air fare for a change, then everyone will be in a lot better of a situation. But that's just my observation.
