Plus, your assertion is incorrect. If the same scarcity applies to all companies why are the regionals having a harder time attracting candidates and the legacies are awash in them? People aren't hardware. Experience counts and, thus, inequality exists.

To be clear, I am for a single union. All are paid the same for like equipment and seat wherever you work. One contract for ALL. I'm also for a single training standard so a pilot could change companies without breaking stride - he'd already be trained to a common standard set by the union. Seniority would be universal; a single seniority list for U.S. based pilots. No longer would we be locked into place at our respective airlines. We could move at will and would no longer have to start over from the bottom.
