Just to keep it on track; fix that, the economy works, and pilot pay goes up.
Irregardless of Michael Moore, I disagree with you that Pilot Pay has anything to do with socialism. It really does have to do with capitalism. It's a basic supply and demand. There's more pilots willing to work and willing to work for less than there is a demand. That's why you have companies paying 17,000 a year to a 20 year old FO because they can. And there's no shortage of people willing to sign up.
