Indeed, and that is the point! You do NOT see them, because they don't do it. Picture it, the ambulance rushes into the ER. Motor vehicle accident. The guy has a broken arm and a broken leg. The Emergency physicians stabilize him, then call the orthopedic surgeon and explain the details. First question the surgeon asks- "does he have insurance?"

If the answer is yes, he'll come in and do his work, because he knows he'll be paid when he bills. If the answer is no, the surgeon stays at home, because he knows that there's a very real chance that he will not be paid for his services.

I's high time pilots realized that we have the industry by the gonads and refuse to work for less than we're worth. Doctors do it. Lawyers do it. Engineers do it. Mechanics do it. Plumbers do it. Why don't pilots do it?
