In a way pilots negotiating pay has lost alot of its ability much like consumers able to boycott a product. Because there are sooo many consumers in america, anymore there is no possible way to be able to boycott a product such as oil, medicine, and soo forth. Even if there is a group of people who boycott, there are too many other people still willing to buy it, therefore losing the power. Much like pilots in regionals right now, unfortunately there is always someone there willing to do the job for less and less. I completely agree that we are being undercut, and should be making 40 and hour starting out. I just hope that when a companies pilots go on strike, there will be a domino effect and the rest will follow suit..... ok so who's first???
