I use to work for a start up called National Airlines. They had experienced pilots lined up around the corner to fly the 757 for 55k captain pay. Every other start up hasn't had trouble finding pilots either at painfully low starting wages.
I am sure that if the major airlines were free to set whatever wages they wanted they would not have any trouble filling ground school classes at less than half of their best captain wage.
