I was told by my last mec chairman that they were going to start talking to students at schools and telling them not to take low paying pilot postions because it's bring the industry down. I think that's laughable because it's ALPA and it's pilots that are signing these low paying contracts not the students. They are only taking what is out their. Now if it's a startup carrier like freedom/gojets then I understand. Pilots are notorious for blameing others and not looking at it's own pilot group.

Without one single seniority list you'll always have whipsawing. Right?
I agree - students aren't the problem. They will only be able to take the jobs offered. I can't fault the folks out there just trying to feed / shelter their families.
