Nooooooooo, taking what I said, copy/pasting it outside of the context, is not the idea. What I said was clearly written. The reason they can't afford it is because they have to CONTINUE to cut flying (IE: FLIGHTS) and receive penalties for doing so. How can they expect to survive if 2/3 of the people they need actually show up in the first place to fly?? I dunno, I'm not saying it's the solution, but rather a very big factor. Supply and demand definitely is a reason why I believe what I am saying. Want pilots? Good ones that will get the job done on time, safely?? Give a good contract. Netjets did it, and look how many people they attract at each interview....
