Capitalism will sort out the wages situation on its own, sans government. There is a gluttony of pilots right now. All an employer has to do is merely look like he's hiring and he'll be flooded with pilots looking for a job. From a capitalistic viewpoint, why pay more to someone to do the job when someone else will do it for that low rate? Furthermore, why potentially burden your customers with an extra fee that will do nothing but potentially deter them to another company?

The reality: Its going to have to get REALLY bad so that enough pilots throw in the towel and the ranks get cleaned out a bit or when the economy recovers and age 65 runs its course. When the job line ends and the recruiter still needs pilots and the resume stack is no longer several feet high, the wages will go up.
