And who's to say how things will turn out, more US airline pilots flying for more carriers with dwindling pilot supplies can only be a good thing for pilots.
Things are always in motion. What will change next? Recinding the 1500 hour rule? Going to age 67? Allowing retiring Captains to sit right seat till 75? Single pilot cockpits? Hyperloop rail?
Alpa is dead. Unions are dead. Try and see the bigger picture and position yourself to benefit.
We do live in a global economy however that doesn't mean you shouldn't fight to keep what you have and what this career can offer. What you are proposing is to the detriment of this career. You can enjoy that for yourself. I will not be joining you. Enjoy selling your soul for a pittance in that 787 seat.
