Exactly!
There is a number of jobs that do not play by the "free capitalism" or "free market" and should not. Pilots should be one of them. Pilot salary should not be like fuel cost that goes down and up as any traded instrument.
Pilot salaries should be a cost that can only be increased. Min salaries has to be regulated by the goverment as the companies refuse to pay fair salaries to junior pilots.
to say that demand & S. has to govern the pilot salary in a free market is bs.
Have you ever seen the doctors salary go down because suddenly there are more doctors than needed?
There has been many situation like that in different countries but never has the salary gone down for them.
I can give many more examples.
