Default Battle

Universally in the industry today I think we are in a battle between the "haves" (Legacy) and the "Have Nots" (LCC and Regionals). In past generations everyone expected to make it to the legacy carriers someday therefore they had more solidarity. Now most realize that they will not. The results are that the "Have Nots" are willing to undercut the Legacy guys in order to secure their own piece of the pie. It is difficult for a person who has already topped out as a regional Captain to feel any sympathy for a Delta Captain who is probably earning three times the salary.
