One more thought. The people willing to do the job for less apply to work at the companies who pay less.

There is always someone willing to do the job for cheaper??? Really? So in other words, in order to compete, are you saying that United pilots are willing to do the job for less than American pilots? Ask some Delta pilots if they are willing to do the job for less than US Airways pilots? Run this question by an ExpressJet pilot: are you willing to fly a larger turboprop for less than Colgan? Not everyone is willing to underbid their fellow pilots for a job.

Ask some Aloha pilots if they would like their job back if they would do it for less than Mesa pilots. Employees that are not willing to work for less do not work for Mesa.
