You make statements as if you have done studies, drawn graphs, interviewed people and are an expert in airline pay. I have no idea what pilots should be paid, what they will be paid or what will happen to the industry next month. Although you sound like an intelligent person, unless you present some kind of data to back up your claims, I would no more believe your figures over a room full of monkeys throwing darts at a dart board with salary figures attached to it.
