Well put. Here's a trend I've been seeing over the last few years. Very low time pilot, first real job out of high school/college, gets on at regional of his choice in the last 1-2 years. Lives in this fantasy land that regionals are still stepping stones and that as soon as he gets 1000 tpic (because he WILL pass upgrade as soon as he meets the bare upgrade mins) Fedex and UPS will be sending recruiters to his house begging him to come over to the cargo side. And since he got on no problem at the first regional he applied to, it must be the same at the majors. So I'm only going to be here 2 years, why do i need to waste $10/month on a union? I mean the management was kind enough to trust me with these shiny new $20 million airplanes! Plus I heard from a Captain that we would be stapled to the bottom, so it must be true!
