Now, if I would have said that I'd be more than willing to tell his employer that i'd do it for less money, then i'd be the problem.
Not quite. It's the
demand for such low paying jobs that's the problem, even if no one is undercutting the other's 20K job. If there's still demand for a 20K job (i.e. you willing to take the other guy's 20K job), there will never be progress. I think it's pretty simple. Even when the economy was going well, you would still hear comments from guys not in the airlines yet telling other airline guys complaining about being on reserve too long or any other sort of complain, "I'd readily trade spots with you."
