If you start with a fraction of that, you'll end up where we are now. If United is too cheap for a good contract then they'll continue watching this place dwindle into nothing. We shouldn't accept less because people are comfortable and want to have the security blanket of a regional job with some false promise of growth on the condition they work for subpar wages. This isn't 2008 anymore. This is a pilots market, these next few years will be very interesting.
