All this talk of F9/NK Pilots being lower or second tier is just a negotiating strategy, but I wonder how the flying public would respond to a little news article outlining how airline management believes their pilot group(s) are sub-standard and lacking in their ability to operate the aircraft safely from departure to destination? I'd bet the quick decline in ticket sales will spur a rapid "realignment" of managements opinions. Just a thought. I bet the Denver Post would love to run that story...
