No, it's screw people who have not been hired yet. No pilot group is a charity chartered to enhance industry opportunities for wannabees. If you want to do that, volunteer at young eagles or CAP on your days off.

Recruiting is the company's problem and expense, and the wannabees can vote with their feet.

Now with all that said it might actually be in the best interest of the lifers to help incentivize recruiting, since hiring is about to REALLY get going if the economy keeps humming along, and they haven't yet authorized single-pilot RJ ops. Given that I would be OK with a hefty bonus option for noobs as long as I got something tooo.
