That said, they have their outsourced c scale labor already, which is drying up, while their new competition is just getting started down the cheap labor expressway.
Lol.
They don't care about Pilots/FAs/ect., they are trying to protect their money. The big 3 have total control on international flights to/from America. Foreign companies offer a much better product at a much better price. Instead of competing, they whine and complain and try to make everyone feel that it's just to protect us. Which it's not, they don't want to make their service better, they don't want to lower their price. They want the government to protect their routes by not letting other carriers in the game that they accuse of their governments helping too much, sound like a hypocrite? Discount labor, the big 3 use discount labor for their domestic feed.
So only the big 3 can use discount labor to feed international routes where they have no competition?
If they get competion they say it's not fair because the Middle East governments help out the carriers, exactly what they are doing by petitioning the government to let them keep a monopoly. Or NAI uses cheap labor, umm... Envoy, Skywest, express jet....., who has cheap labor.
