YOUR RIGHT that it's brilliant "but not for us as pilots which I'm sure was your piont". Let's take this trend and extend it to the ultimate end of its journey. If this trend continues then the final outcome will be a monopoly of one airline. I know this may sound extreme to some but can you see any other outcome that will bring it to end? If one of the two actions mentioned in the first post are not acted upon then the company will continue to have us by the balls to no end.

Although I like the idea of regulation are you all ready for the pilot cuts this may bring?
Yes I am. I would most likely be one that loses (my job) for the time being but the pilot industry would have a win and my potential future would be admirable when and if I return. I know I may get bashed for this next statement by some but please don't take it personal it's just my opinion; In addition the general public would also win because they would have more experienced individuals at the controls. Personally, I don't think anyone with 300 hours of flight time should be piloting commercial airline aircraft no matter how good of a pilot one has become up to that point of experience.
