I got to thinking about this whole thing when I was still a union pilot flying 737NG's. I remember another FO that took my plane is making 30% of my wage FOR THE SAME JOB... yet, at the time, he had more flight time than me, more experience, was laid off from UAL after 9/11. This guy was flying for 30% of my wage!!!! What's worse is that the union swears that that's OK.

Sorry pal, I'll take my "chances" that someone will try undercut me... their 'offer to undercut' will get some great laughs.

In any case, it could never be worse than the union undercutting.
