And this is what you
support?? Apparently, it is:
I think that airlines could get better pilots for less money on the open market. Start up airlines consistently rate higher in travel surveys then legacy airlines. The reason is that employees are more happier and more satisfied than people who have been locked into long held airline dynasties.
.... There is better opportunity in the free market.
.... Better opportunities equate into happier people doing a better job. Eventually every airline will be forced to match the wages of their LCC competitors.
And you said that
current F/O wages won't support a family. What happens when they are "universally cut in half"?
