Short-term contracts with temp agencies. No unionization. DEC's. Training bonds (indentured servitude.) No loyalty in either direction (aka ME3.) No career positions.
And guys will justify it because a legacy hasn't called them yet.
Agreed. Once cabotage goes away and there's universal open skies I expect the US airlines, or whatever airlines dominate the US, to operate like the majority of European airlines. Short term contracts. 120k narrow body captains, maybe 150k for widebodies.
Hopefully some higher paying US jobs stay around like the European and Japanese legacies you mentioned.
