What would you have done? Increased pay rates?
We could do that but only if we re-regulated the industry again... Even the current "Let-the-government-run-everything" administration won't touch it, it ain't gonna happen...
So the only thing they can do is to give us more time to rest (in the works) but that's not going to make a huge impact on commuting... The other thing they can do is to force airline employees to be within an hour or so of the airport 12 hours or so before their trip... They can't force people where to live but they can force people to "get plenty of rest" before a trip - in effect, making commuting very hard...
We need to be careful what we're wishing for.
