Exactly. The public and the government don't give a sh*t that skilled professionals make $3/hour...as long as they can buy the lowest priced ticket on the internet, they're happy.
We need to make them unhappy by brutal negotiation and striking every contract. The major guys are mostly too wimpy to do that, since they have more to lose if they kill their company. But at the regional level...we could all make MORE money working odd jobs while on strike, and if we kill our companies, so f*cking what? Starting over at a regional is no biggy, and your next company would be more concerned about labor relations following a high-profile liquidation (or two).
I'm ready to kill my company in the near future, are you?
