No…it’s not. Working under the RLA and in seniority based systems that pay based on seniority and longevity, not experience and quality, are not true capitalism. I can’t leave my captain job and associated pay at one airline and carry it to another based on my experience. A start up that capitalizes on that fact and substitutes seniority for pay kind of ruins the whole capitalism aspect of it. In true free market capitalism (like in most other 200-300k jobs), if I’m unhappy with my employer or I got a better offer elsewhere, I could leave and start over and never skip a beat. Can’t do that in this industry.
